    I guess it depends on what you call pirating. Is it okay for me to emulate switch games I own on my steamdeck? It prevents me from having to carry around two devices, and in some cases the games run better. I that situation I’ve paid everyone I’m supposed to.

      And Nintendo is just supposed to accept that everyone will use the honor system and not share their game files for games they don’t own?

        Yeah, cause I should have rights with things I purchase. You’re allowed to record anything over the radio, you can record anything that comes over broadcast/cable TV. That’s not pirating that’s the law. Why should this be any different and why should it matter if I get it physically or digitally.

        Yes. Otherwise they’re just preempttively accusing their customers of being theives. Some would consider that libel and slander.
