    Sadly (at the time of writing) you’re just getting downvoted, because Lemmy’s hateboner for Nintendo is more important than context

    Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do (which is not at all)

      Why is the title worded that way, he literally was pirating. It isn't 'Suspicions' to use a MIG cartridge.

        Things you should never get caught liking on Lemmy:
        Nintendo
        Windows
        Auth-right, lib-right, or lib-left politics
        A can of beans
        Police
        Man vs bear hypothetical
        CalyxOS
        Etc.

          Because in the US and several other countries you can legally back up a cartridge that you have bought. In that case it wouldn't be piracy.

            a can of beans

            I'm pretty sure we like beans here. Unless you're trying not to shit for 3 or more days.

              I know Lemmy's objection to most of these and I honestly dislike them too (oh no, brainwashed drone alert! Honestly, I consider myself quite lucky I hit a group where I actually do match the hivemind instead of being different yet again. Except I think Lemmy has a much higher tolerance for political posts, and for personal insults towards people who don't share the hivemind than I do, but hey, you'll probably never hit 100% consensus with any big group), except: I wasn't aware that Lemmy had something against a can of beans. Genuinely, could someone please explain? Is this a reference to something, or is it genuine dislike towards canned beans? What's wrong with canned beans?

                Luckily at the moment they have a lot more upvotes than downvotes. Probably because they are providing information and aside from the "you are stupid for breaking (a likely-predictable) TOS and expecting nothing to happen" judgment, it's pretty neutral on passing judgment on the bigger argument at hand: whether this policy should be here in the first place.

                  They didn't even get downvoted, but you decided to get angry about this imaginary scenario just in case. What's wrong with you?

                      If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren't insults though

                        It's funny that in lemmy vs reddit threads people always bring up that there is no karma farming, but then you see this nonsense.

                          Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves.

                          This is about observing a fact and recounting it to someone who's misinformed about the situation and even has the audicity to gaslight someone over it

                            Tbf, I hope nintendo keeps going this route and punishing more and more its customers. After all, if you keep supporting a company that hates you so much, you deserve what you get.

                            I don’t think Nintendbros will care. They already pay $120 to buy the same game twice.

                              If you try to go online with a flashcart, you're an idiot and I have no sympathy.

                                    Even if that is legal (it isnt), but it will be circumvention of encryption at worst and recreation of protected algorithms, code and keys in a non-nintendo product at best ( and thats before talking about game cartridge content ).
                                    Last i checked that is still illegal hehe

                                      It's a reference to this post. A lot of people found it funny but a lot of lemmings also thought it was insulting and spam

                                        I'm a filthy Switch pirate and I only knew of the name. I didn't know what it was exactly or how it worked until the recent reporting about it.

                                          In that case it wouldn’t be piracy.

                                          What about in this case?
