TOTK was also leaked 2 weeks before release and I played through the whole thing with Ryujinx in that time lol
Wonder why it's always 2 weeks
Sellers get physical copies in advance. One of them just dumps the ROM using a hacked Switch.
Maybe that's when they start shipping copies to stores?
Advanced copies for game reviewers?
Reminder to not be a dumbass like me and turn off any connectivity on your switch if playing before release.
(I got my 3ds banned from all online services for forgetting to turn wifi off before booting Pokemon a week before release. I obtained it through the homebrew eshop that existed at the time that literally let you download .cia files and install the game for free)
It's also on nxbrew if people don't want to use torrents
Thank you! Good to know.
Leaking Nintendo games for free? 
Just because I like what their developers make doesn't mean I don't hate their corporate body as much as any other private company.
I also consider piracy important because not only does it preserve the games, it's the only way many poor people, particularly poor kids, can play games.
The hilarious thing is, If it weren't for Piracy when I was a poor kid, I wouldn't have bought nearly as many games as I had when I could afford them.
I once torrented Odyssey and BOTW and forgot that I shut off my VPN

Welcome to libre
A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.
The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.
Resources
- Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
- Switch to GNU/Linux! If you're still using Windows in
$CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.
Rules
- Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn't mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
- Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here's a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
- Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
- All site-wide rules still apply
