    it's not Nintendo's job to preserve other devs games. everyone knows when they buy digital its not for keeps.

    people choose to consume digitally (I dont,) so please dont moan about preservation if you aren't supporting the physical market.

    This is utterly ridiculous. The sheer audacity of only giving us a full year to make our purchases for consoles that we've mostly already replaced. Sickening. What will Nintendo do next? Make it so I can't nip into town and buy a new NES game? For shame.

    Fact. Piracy is wrong. And it harms future game development financing

    Please at least be honest in the reporting. Nintendo didn't send anyone to jail. The Department of Justice convicted a person of two felonies and a judge sentenced him to jail.

    The point this article makes is weird. I agree, a lack of game availability leads to piracy. The answer is to make them available, the next problem is how. But that guy was pirating brand new, readibly available games. That's completely different.
