I feel like the blame mostly lies on people who pirate games. It's a sort of tragedy of the commons. We could have a better world (Nintendo not caring if we play switch games we bought at 4k60 on a PC) but people who pirate games mucked it up.

Downloading files is mostly used for piracy. At some point, 70% of all internet was used for torrents and nothing else. Are you trying to tell me the internet should have been shut down?

Analogous question: At what percentage of uses for crime should guns be banned?

You would give "a shit" if you relied on the train and the company closed down. Certainly the people that do, do.

The problem is that this breaks down very fast. You would eventually care, when those people can no longer operate and then you're affected, i.e. this is a problem of selfishness.

People pirating Nintendo games AND people playing Nintendo games DO care - when Nintendo no longer makes money and there's no more games to play. And I know they care, because they're playing and love the games right now. So it is their problem, regardless of what they say. Their very actions prove it's their problem.
