The ESA, which represents several major gaming companies, has shared an updated list of notorious piracy threats with the U.S. Government. One of the notable newcomers is FitGirl-Repacks, which has been a dominant player in the game piracy landscape for years. Meanwhile, ESA’s report no longer mentions malware, cryptocurrencies, or Scene release groups, which were previously seen as ‘growing trends’.
Nintendo’s argument is that their games are art, and being unable to control how they’re presented degrades the art. My eyes rolled across the room the first time I heard that.
Wow. So every theatre show of classics like Romeo & Juliet is a degraded experience. I’m not sure Nintendo bosses understand what “art” is.
