Saudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.

No idea but in Europe copyright law doesn’t seem to be enforced as much against little guys but taxman will come for everyone. That YouTuber seems to be a grifter, collecting money for his defense while also making money off a Telegram shop. He knew he could make things up and people (and „journalists”!) would fall for it because Nintendo bad.

How would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?

I’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?

He was selling them outright via Facebook / Telegram. I’ll speculate a little bit - it’s likely it wasn’t taxed which is why he was singled out.

I think it’s not that surprising that an arcade racer doesn’t support niche sim wheels. They do support plenty of popular brands though.

This thing goes into my living room and PS5 looks are just offensive to me. I waited to see if Sony would come to their senses with Slim or Pro but I guess Sony is back to being Sony when they don’t have to try. I despise monopolies so I go with the underdog when I can.

Both platforms run all modern games and there’s very little exclusives on both. Performance wise they’re the same and automatic VRR on everything is awesome. XSX was significantly cheaper at the time too and that’s before taking into account how much value GamePass provides. If Microsoft wasn’t exiting the market I’d say it’s a better choice today too.

Microsoft was their publisher only and their new game is being published by Take-Two.

I think MS could surpass EA as a biggest publisher after they bought ActiBlizz, you could extract couple of game companies out of them. At this point I’m wondering why they haven’t sold it to Oracle or Tencent just to get more coal for their AI money pits.

It’s the budget pick. Series S sells multiples of Series X and GamePass is cheap. We live in the age of overabundance of all kinds of media so there’s is crapload of games, and exclusive situation doesn’t look that bad compared to PS5, mostly because PS5 is bad too. I went with XSX because of the looks but that was before Microsoft went insane.

„It” is probably a stab in the back, if companies were capable such things. Microsoft published their previous games as Xbox exclusives so it’s safe to assume some kind of relationship existed. Microsoft stabbed lots of their employees in the back recently.

Cease and desist from said group?

Those are entirely legal while the article implies there is some legal gray area involved.

I know it’s cool to dunk on Nintendo and sometimes it’s an actual moral obligation but I prefer not to lose sight of facts. There’s lots of bad PR against Nintendo lately, mostly based on unverified claims of anonymous people. It gets tiring that journalists mediaworkers care only about clicks.

Those are good reasons when considering ethics of piracy in general but not legality. For me ethics angle is thrown out of the window the moment profit is involved however and I’m pretty sure that guy was doing videos for ad money.

The problem is the game ROMs on these devices, which are not entirely legal.

In what part are they legal?

I’m complaining about the state of things.

I didn’t have to scroll that far lol

reminder: these fascists assholes are not human. they give up all humanity when they actively choose to become or remain within this trump nazi cult. so when we say “nazis are not human” we are not dehumanizing them; they did it to themselves. these fuckwits need prison. all of them.

Get educated on how nazis dehumanised people so that it would make violence possible later before you go around calling people nazis. For a nazi hunter you seem to know little about nazism, or pretend not to because you’re just out for revenge.

If you’re advocating violence against people you arbitrarily deem nazis it doesn’t make you a good guy and you’re likely breaking plenty of laws regardless of jurisdiction. I’m seeing liberals advocating violence against people voting for Trump, that’s pretty dehumanising.
