Or Nintendo:

“Stop pirating our old games!!!”

Okay, then sell me one of your old games.

“No.”

More like: Nintendo, “here is an HD remake of that old game you wanted.”

Fans, “We don’t want to pay for old games!”

Actually more like: “Here’s an HD remaster of an old game that we ported previously but instead of giving you the same price as that lets just charge $60 instead.”

Leaving this here:

Nintendo has also committed piracy of their own software, by downloading a rom that a piracy group extracted and uploaded to the internet, so that Nintendo could then can re-sell the game back to us.

If Nintendo will sell me the old games I love, I’ll happily rebuy them so long as there’s no installed killswitch (sorry, “DRM”) that will take it away from me one day.
