I've been thinking about this since the XY leak. The day one update should be heavily advertised in the box with a sticker or something. We're all used to digital copies not working until release date, it's one of the quirks of the format, but for physical copies, people want it to work the moment they put it inside their cart slot, or else. Legit customers got pissed for not being able to play their early physical copy, and pirates didn't care because lots of them were already hit by a banwave and there were already methods to unban consoles. The second solution sounds more plausible, but it takes me back to the Pokémon SUMO debacle, where Nintendo, after XY's leak - i'm one of the people who got his copy early, one week early to be precise - went hard with the banhammer on anyone who played an early copy no matter the format (happened to me with Sun lol). Those solutions work on paper, but the bolded is key: You need a hacked console to dump the game, and hacks would be able to cimcurvent, at least, the software lock. ![]() To reduce piracy Nintendo has to have more duscounts and to a lesser degree reduce their practices that people hate, but their games only being on their consoles has very Little to do with it, the Switch itself isn't that expensive and very few of their games have notorios performance issues to *need* an upgrade on Yuzu to be enjoyed. The only group I'd say would pirate less are the people who do it because they want better performance (and don't do or don't know legal emulation), but even there if Nintendo has their own launcher instead of Steam, don't allow mods or uses stuff like denuvo (all likely) I can see many of them not being willing to support them. I feel most people who use emulation or original hardware to pirate their games are because their games in the long run are too expensive (mostly people from developing countries here) and that wouldn't change at all if they release them on PC, and also people who hate Nintendo for their legal and anti community practices, among other things, which also would likely keep pirating their games regardless of where they release. ![]() I'd say, I've seen quite a few people here and on social media saying that piracy would greatly reduce if Nintendo releases their games on PC and I don't really think so.
