    They asked what’s different from the others, because Sony and Microsoft will also ban you if you try to go online with pirated games. This news isn’t actually anything new.

      Thank you. I didn’t even know about Sony and Microsoft so sounds like Nintendo actually isn’t even worse anyway?

        They’re much worse, for a myriad of reasons, but mainly because they are extremely litigous and overprotective of their IP to the extent that they regularly kill open source emulation projects that support games they don’t even sell, and also shut down any kind of fan-made projects or events.

          So I’ve def been seeing that. I thought it only made news bc the Nintendo brand, but assumed it was the status quo with everyone.
