     Pirating is illegal, so I would never do it.

     I pirate almost everything. I bought Elden Ring and the DLC because I like FromSoftware action/RPG games and I bought the RE4 remake last year because I've been a big Resident Evil fan since PS1, but other than those I haven't paid for any games. I just pirate Nintendo's shit on Ryujinx. It sucks they don't update the emulator anymore, but I can still update the firmware to play new stuff like that new Zelda game.

     When you are not allowed to own anything you are morally obligated to pirate everything

     Literally Disney just fucking stonewalls certain movies until they need a money printing. But you better not pirate them even though you literally can't get them anywhere. And no having a digital service where you don't own it like Disney plus is not acceptable either just the same as steam is unacceptable as well. When I buy it I should be able to optionally download the whole instilation package to burn to cd or keep on a hard drive.

     I wish I came up with this but I'm paraphrasing someone.
     Here at Nintendo our philosophy is why innovate when you can patent and kill the competition? Our exclusives aren't Mario and Zelda it's Patents.

     I'd prefer the concept of IP be abolished entirely, but if we have to have patent law it desperately needs "use it or lose it" rules that kill patent trolling as an industry.

     I once heard the reason gen 2 was fucking massive wasn't just new hardware but they hired a guy who could actually optimize and he quit right before sword and shield

     @Dudebro @Terry @William_The_Dragonborn Yeah, a while back I tried to go through it all to "find the problem"
     
     >Is it bloat? too many people on the team?
     No, they've kept their staff at 200 employees since the 90s
     
     >Are they rushed?
     No, they've released a game at a fairly constant rate since the 90s
     
     This issue really seems to be that the upper management does not care because every game prints money without fail, so long as its playable it get released no matter what. The people who really did care are slowly leaving because it's been over 30 years since the concept was first pitched and they are retiring.

     This seems to happen to any series of media that is too successful for too long. Like how the original Iron Man movie was bretty good but the 15 years of capeshit that followed it gradually degraded into an avalanche of slop so putrid that it now struggles to entertain even the lowest common denominator.

     @Dudebro @Hoss @Terry @Elliptica @William_The_Dragonborn I think the original ideas of copyright and patent are good. The problem is that these were inventions to protect individuals, not companies. This was because an author couldn't know if their next book would sell, or the inventor that their stuff would catch on.
     
     But with companies able to spend money to advertise to almost guarantee they make their investment back - it's different.
