Nintendo "Pleased" By EU Court of Justice DRM Ruling

[Strazdas]

Respectfully, I dont think most people are using it to avoid region locking. They're using it for free games. Unless you're telling me everyone bought a region locked cart of the game THEN downloaded a copy. Is that what you're saying happens?

everyone who bought a region locked cart and decided to go around it downloaded a copy that they can get around with.

That is a different thing? So you're standing by everyone/a large majority who plays a pirated game from a different region owns a copy from that region?

Yes, no.
Im standing by a large majority of people who own a copy from a different region are playing a pirated copy of the game.

Once again demonstrating how NOT to fight piracy. (i.e. You have to remove the REASON for it, the convenience it grants people, or you solve absolutely nothing.)

Yeah..
Though it seems each year, this becomes less about fighting piracy and more about spooking its legitimate paying customers into a more submissive mindset by flexing legal muscle.

Which will never happen because the track record for customers is largely - as observed - irate, often complaining, and unpleasable. There won't be enough to really keep them afloat on that ticket.

Well, based on what we can observe overtly at least.
Most of the market is, well, the Silent Majority. And I've watched many shitty Less for More schemes roll by in and out of gaming.

Fate hasn't exactly been kind to Nintendo lately. Well, there's China, but they still kinda' had a few bloody noses, so I read that as a reaction to their business practices.
