The other day Nintendo of America I filed a lawsuit against the owner of the site Romsuniverse, distributing copies of games, films and books. The company requires 150 thousand dollars for each copyright violation and up to $ 2 million for each violation of rights to a trademark.
In the complaint Nintendo of America It is said that Romuniverse is one of the most visited sites with pirate games for company consoles. The resource has about 300 thousand games download for Nintendo Switch and more than 500 thousand for 3DS.
According to the plaintiff, Romuniverse offers membership on its website for $ 30 a year. Membership allows users to load an unlimited number of games with a higher speed than those who are not a member.
It seems, Nintendo seriously took up the pirates. This week, the company won the case in the UK Supreme Court, as a result of which five Internet providers (Sky, BT, Ee, Talktalk And Virgin Media) will have to block or at least make access to four sites offering pirate games for a hybrid console.
In addition, in November 2018 Nintendo reached an agreement with two pirate sites, Loveroms.COM and Loveretro.Co, which previously brought claims on similar accusations. True, the owners of these sites pledged to pay 12.$ 2 million to keep them behind.

Drain the games on the current consoles somehow ugly. It is one thing when you can’t get a console or the game for various reasons, but you want to play any game, and another thing when the console can be bought and almost all the games can be loaded from their store, but you will be pirated at the same time
A company, in the games of which there is usually no microtransactions, wants to close a site chopping grandmas on the pirate games of two consoles that are clearly not retro – the greedy? Nuok.
Whether it will be interesting to do something about CEMU, and in general what policy they have about emulators? Breath of the Wild passed on it, I understand that this is pure piracy, but expirence in FullHD at ~ 80fps I think everyone is better than on Switch.
So you played a spiral. The emulator here? Nobody bothers you to buy a game and start it through an emul. The emulator itself has nothing to do with piracy.
You do not need to drain https://duckduckbingocasino.uk/bonus/ games after release. Because some kind of Vasya Pupkin (and thousands of similar ones) they want to play Breath of the Wild, but they don’t want to buy different emulators, which hits very much in our region, and then they do not really want to import games from Nintendo later. And to save part of the culture, it is necessary to drain games almost on the day of the release
If Vasya Pupkin does not want to pay for the game, he will not pay for her.
And in low sales it is piracy that is to blame, and not that the Russian price of Breath of the Wild is one of the highest in the world.
At the same time, you need to understand that you are trying to compare the solvency of countries in which the minimum wage differs by 3-10 times. And if such claims can be put forward to the inhabitants of Moscow and a couple of cities, then for some Vasya Pupkin from Belgorod the game will cost 10% of the salary, which is not at all adequately.
Drain the games immediately after the appearance.
Quite a lot of games disappear from everywhere before the end of the generation.
Piracy is not only an unwillingness to pay. This is also a desire to preserve part of the culture. Having run around torrents, you can find a huge number of works that have not survived the generation of consoles or were produced by small elapse.
They have politics against emulators, but they will not do anything, because they cannot. Well, no one can find what to dig into emulators from a legal point of view.
Because ideological pirates are many times less than people who are not ready to give n% of their salary for games. If the game costs 1% of the salary, it will want to buy more people than the game for 10% of the salary.
The same Zelda can be bought with a benefit somewhere 1k rubles (maybe more) if you take a gang in official stores.
Buy Bandle to get the game, sell the console and save 1k. Great plan.
Maybe Nintendo should reduce their prices, and not for me to look for incomprehensible stores with incomprehensible from nowhere prices?
Which from the position of the publisher do not differ from piracy.
And honestly infuriates when people say that the cost of the game is some percentage of their salary, usually such people spend more on all sorts of nonsense. It’s better to spend 4,000 out of 40,000 on the game than on alcohol or that like that
And what’s the difference, what people spend their money on? And who determines that from purchases is nonsense, and what is necessary for everyone? Why is the collection every week with friends, even if you drink beer, suddenly worse than buying a jerk off and sagging in it tens of hours?
If you personally give 10%+ from salary every month for games normally – this is good. But there is no need to say that it should be normal for everyone.
And why would they touch the emulators themselves? This is not a pirate clone of the prefixes and not the games themselves. This is a software environment of the emulating Nintendi consoles, in fact, without violating the patents or copyright of Nintenda. There is no need to judge.
In general, I am wildly sad that people do not understand why Ninteda does not look at the Russian market and not adhesions of any privileges. Everything is quite transparent – the absence of regional restrictions. Therefore, the prices in the PS Store and Xbox Live are such horse, and Zelda is so expensive. If Ninka made a regionalized console for Rashka with reduced price tags, everyone would be indignant “why are we in a closed ghetto?!»As it was with a border and Duke, for example. So I generally support their desire to cover the spread of games on the "living" actual consoles. Unlike their corrals with Roman on NES, for example.
Uuuu greedy ninted. They are the only ones who fight for their intellectual property. Even for the soundtrack from their games can fly.
You are not forced to buy games every month. And the message about the fact that “it is better to buy a game than alcohol” and the fact that lbdi speakers spend more money for a fleeting pleasure. I had a salary of 10k rubles and I bought games on the sale and using bonuses from Nintendo (by the way, another way to save). Well, how if you have a 40K salary (based on your words), then you can afford to buy games every month for Full Price
If it were not for the pirate romes of Pokemon and Animal Crossing on Citra, then I would never understand why I should buy a sweatshirt. Nintendo makes special games aimed at the fact that they will play a whole family that will exchange experience with each other, increasing its immersion. Nintendo never tried to do something really serious in attracting a Russian audience. They have an occasion to think and I hope they will once be able to turn this situation with pirate rums in their favor.
I hope they do not affect Citra and Cemu. Unlike some EPSXE, they cannot provide 60 FPS on any device and in any game. This is a good way to get acquainted with the game, a series, company, but the one who will really be passionate about all this will most likely want to be able to play more stable. But not talking about 3DS, but about the switch, then it is also more pleasant. His gamepad is damn convenient.
So are their actions so excessive? I do not have a full situation, I am not a manager of Nintendo, but I think that such cases should be used on the company’s PR, and not the destruction of the "so -so" pests.
I don’t want to say anything, but Cemu 100 FPS can give out. Not on all PCs, but the sweatshirt cannot. The chip in portable. You will not get her.
Actually Cherochur. Когда ты тупо записал геймплей или постримил игру, а потом тебе так «братец, там наш музон, удоли» — это как-то бесит. This is the soundtrack in the game, no one stole it, did not post it for downloading. I’m already silent about "Oh, you played our game – Udoli".
Where does the salary are generally. You can always find an alternative and buy a game profitable. The same Zelda can be bought with a benefit somewhere 1k rubles (maybe more) if you take a gang in official stores. There are also less stores where they can sell games cheaper. There are also different sites where the players themselves sell their games by cutting off the price tag by almost half, that is, you can save. And honestly infuriates when people say that the cost of the game is some percentage of their salary, usually such people spend more on all sorts of nonsense. It’s better to spend 4,000 out of 40,000 on the game than on alcohol or that like that
