same comment of mine here: what nintendo child will do that is my question
Right, children are known for being well behaved and following the rules...
I remember as a child playing 2 player Tetris on the original Gameboy, which required a cable connecting the two devices. I figured out if I watched my opponent's height indicator on my screen and saw it drop suddenly I could unplug the cable from my device and not get sent the extra lines. It was a cheat and an exploit that I stumbled upon because I was curious what would happen. That "I wonder what would happen" attitude can now apparently cause Nintendo to purposely brick the device.
I still dont see how pre teen children would be able to pirate a game xd
You haven't met a pre teen. You're also ignoring the problem of false positives.
"It doesn't matter how strict the punishment is, only criminals will be punished" only works if only criminals are punished. There's plenty of stories of accounts being banned when no rules were broken.
thats a good argument at the end
the first paragraph: not so much.. I think the opposite of you haha
