Click bait title; it's basically rehashing the story that's already been brought forward, about how a group of pirates got some data illegally from Nintendo's servers and, using broken street date copies of BotW as skeleton keys, leaked the entirety of the Wii U version of BotW online, so that OTHER slimy rat-faced bastards could illegally download the game without paying for it, through modded consoles.

See this kind of shit is why things like CEMU shouldn't be allowed.
For things that companies no longer sell or make money off of, I might be able to understand, but stuff like CEMU shows up and opens up a floodgate that mostly attracts pirates, not tech lovers that are just legitimately trying to learn and experiment without harming anything.
Instances like this prove that modded consoles which support piracy-enabling emulator programs do way more harm than good, in my eyes.

i dont understand why you have a vendetta against emulators. and just so you are clear... breath of the wild is NOT playable on cemu at this point in time

Restriction on software. Oh boy. Get out.

We have been going back and forth with this, im going to ask you again, kitchen knifes opens up a floodgate for people with malicious intend.

How does that fly with you?

Cleaning chemicals you can purchase at a store can be used to make bombs.

How does that fly with you?

Computers give you access to the internet, so therefor also the darknet.

How does that fly with you?

I could go on. But saying that emulators attract pirates ( lol ) is completely irrelevant to whether it should be allowed to exist or not. By your logic we should abolish a lot of things. There is no infringement on software that is build from the ground up or has a public license to it.

Stats needed.

We’re never getting an amazing mainline Pokémon game again are we

phoenixwing2h ago

Of course not. That's why I have tem tem because even if it's not the greatest I at least know the indie dev was trying

ZeekQuattro1h ago

Great plug for Tem Tem right there. It's not the greatest but at least they tried.... 🤣

phoenixwing23m ago

@zeek that's right it's as good or better than a pokemon game but they didn't have access to pokemon game money. So it's more of a stain on pokemon company to be in the same ballpark as them

It's time we admit that they were never really that amazing to begin with. The games have never quite reach the same level of awesomeness as the anime. Look at the last few seasons we got to wrap up Ash's adventure, and the new series. 4 lazy Switch games and a remake which was so low effort that you wouldn't be able to tell it's a remake if your weren't told beforehand. The concept of Pokemon will always be awesome, but man the games absolutely suck.
