With the price they expect for games now, it’s going to get a lot worse for them.
Why is everyone pretending like they have a right to play Nintendo games? Nintendo says they want $X, you say their game isn’t worth $X, so you get something different instead. What’s the problem?
If you’re at a flea market and can’t reach an agreement on the price, do you just throw a tantrum at the vendor and take their stuff anyway?
You are comparing removing a physical object from a person to copying some data onto a flash drive.
Do you want to be the kind of guy that gets a portrait commissioned of yourself, get a watermarked preview version, then balks at the price the artist asks for, reject the work, refuse to pay the artist, AND THEN use the watermarked preview version for your profile picture anyway?
A better analogy would be if I printed out a copy of a painting I like.
I don't control which games Nintendo makes. If I did, we'd have a sequel to Majora's Mask and Mario Galaxy 3.
