The Mig-Switch Dumper is here, and it's going to have a big impact on the Nintendo Switch with the Mig-Switch Card.Thicc USB Cable: https://amzn.to/3TrhFRTBl...
I crack up at all the people on Lemmy insisting that this isn’t pirating or about pirating. Yes it is. I pirate too, don’t bullshit me guys. This isn’t about Nintendo being an evil company, cause they keep their games exclusive, just like Microsoft does with PC games and nobody bitches. This isn’t about Nintendo being selfish, it’s about people who want to copy switch games, mod them, share them, and act as if it’s a thing the copyright holder should be happy about lol
Again I pirate, so let’s be honest, this whole thing is about ways to easily pirate and backup switch games, not the integrity of gaming.
Ummm… If you own the game, making backups is perfectly legal. This isn’t piracy, this is hacking. I agree that most movie and game downloading IS PIRACY. This is not. It’s piracy if someone rips the files and distributes it. If they rip it for themselves, it’s not.
So yeah, it actually is a murky area here. You’d be going after everyone under the assumption of illegal activity vs actually targeting those commiting piracy.
The point is that this is not going to stop with someone backing up their games. Come on now let’s be honest.
The internet is full of game ROMS that are “for backup only” again, come the fuck on. I’m not against pirating, but to say this isn’t it is just silly lol
Then you punish the actual criminals, not everyone.
There are plenty of us who prefer the steam deck over the switch. You can pull the encryption keys from your own console and the roms from your own games and play them there. There are numerous tutorials to do so.
People use knives to stab people. Should we ban all knives?
You’re being hyperbolic and narrow-minded.
Backing up a game is legal. End of story. There’s plenty of legal precedent there already. So you’re literally arguing that the law is not the law because of your emotional feelings.
You want to change that? Change the law. Stop being a jackass on social here tho spouting bad takes when you just don’t agree.

It’s kind of condescending to assume everyone does the same thing you do. Even if it’s a majority.
Or are you assuming that no one backs up media for the sake of backing it up? Cause that’s… pretty nearsighted.
I would say less than 1% of gamers backup their games
Based on what evidence? Your emotions?
