It’s pretty funny how angry some gamers get when you tell them you pirate. Like, we make fun of online leftists for having parasocial relationships, but gamers take it to a whole new level. Especially funny if they want to protect Nintendo, given how aggressive they are about protecting their IP from fan-creations.

It used to be that piracy was one of the main arguments for PC gaming. Look at gamers now,

Kotaku once made an article mentioning that some Metroid game ran better on emulators. The Nintendo subreddit had a meltdown claiming that Kotaku was telling people to pirate the game, and that this would pretty much bankrupt Nintendo or something. Pretty funny.

I don’t think so. They should know by now how easy it is to do it as well. I think they just take pride in doing it “legitimately.” Basically internet honor lol. That, plus many are simply bootlickers who hate “stealing”
