I answered the person who asked why.

It’s no different than watching a regular stream.

Good job doing their dirty work for them.

Prices only end in .99 to fool people like you into thinking products cost less than they actually do.

You don’t need to spend that much to get a vulkan-capable GPU.

I stopped buying consoles when they started charging for online.

Feels like I made the right decision.

It’s yall’s fault for using windows.

Linux is literally available for free.

No problem.

I’m not sure about Super Mario Maker, but there is online functionality built-in to Yuzu.

It 100% sounds like their flavor of bullshit.

Remember the “emulation console” they released?

So you’re paying $59.99 for the game

You mean $60.

I recommend going the extra mile and no longer buying their hardware or software.

Emulation is in a great state right now, and it’s only getting better. The fewer resources scummy companies like Nintendo have from sales, the fewer resources they’ll have to go after community products.

that promised a bunch of network functionality improvements that never materialized.

Holy fuck, why do the multi-billion dollar companies need to wait until their 3rd game to have decent netcode?

Edit: And apparently even that wasn’t enough, because it “never materialized.”

Heck, piracy is almost always morally correct because developers are only doing the least while charging the most.

If they want to treat business as “us vs. them”, then that’s what they’re going to get.

Copyright and patent laws need to die.

Glad I still have my solid copy of Yuzu.

Never buying another console again, and it’s been years since I bought a video game.

The companies only have themselves to blame.

You mean $400.

Me using a gaming laptop, a solution which has been available for over a decade.

Keep in mind everyone, nintendo started out as a toy company and never lost that culture.

They aren’t your friends and they aren’t “better than the rest.”

Glad I never bought a switch.

In fact, ever since the PS4 I’ve been strictly a PC gamer.

Seeing how Microsoft was able to lower everyone’s standards by charging for online really puts things into perspective for me.

It’s great because now I don’t have to buy hardware or software. Looking forward to emulating switch 2 games before they’re even released like ToTK, lol.

I disagree, they have their place. Counterstrike, for example.

Call of Duty and Battlefield would be better if they followed Counterstrike’s release model.

Good.
