So there will not be a way to play it when they eventually turn off their online service for the console. Uh huh. They were what we thought were the last bastions of protecting content/games, now... yeah, okay, they are just shooting themselves in the foot again and again here.

Then they're all shocked Pikachu that people are so determined to emulate them. You know what games aren't being jailbroken en masse right now? Steam games. Because the store has been trustworthy since day one. They may break that trust but it hasn't happened yet.

Not sure I understand the comparison. Steam DRM is easy to remove, and there's no device to jailbreak as it's just a PC.

I think that's my point, that they've built such a easy to use trustworthy store that everyone just buys it because what's the point of stealing anything from them. Vs Nintendo when that's the first thing people start working on.

But everyone doesn't, piracy is still rampant.
