    Why pirate? Off the top of my head…

    1. Not enough money.
    2. Want to trial the game before buying.
    3. Original hardware doesnt support an accessibility controller/ mod.
    4. Backup copy for WHEN Nintendo will shut down their servers.
    5. The game is no longer sold by Nintendo.

    There are dozens of reasons, and saying anyone with a critique of Nintendo should be required to boycott them is extreme. You can be critical of a company and still enjoy their products. How else do we get better products in the future if we don’t share feedback?

      Thanks for answering!

      I understand your points, I was asking specifically about:

      good luck Nintendo, until you end your shit practices pirates will exist.

      Cause if anyone is pirating for any of the reason you mentioned, they would still pirate the game if Nintendo doesn’t sue anyone ever again. And allow everyone to make all the fangames / videos the want.

      That’s a valid point. But if you don’t buy, then that is pretty much a boycott anyway, and then whether you play or don’t play, doesn’t effect them much, right? Except maybe you spreading more word-of-mouth advertisement of their products, no?

      You can be critical of a company and still enjoy their products.

      Completely agree. My comment wasn’t meant to imply otherwise. Maybe I didn’t get the wording right, I’ll see if I can edit it to make my intentions clear, without messing it up more. 😀
