Please tell that to the author of this article because that is where it should start.
I have a hard time taking anyone who uses the term incels un-ironically, seriously.

"has just become a word for people who lack the intelligence to explain what they don't like."
The same could be said for "right-wing"
If as you say these people were never going to buy Nintendo products anyways then it doesnt hurt them either. Way to try to make a point of nothing gained while also pointing out nothing lost.
The rom sites were around for over a decade. Its like getting free lunch and then being mad when the company says they will no longer provide you with lunch. Enjoy it while you had it but why are you mad now. It was a benefit not a requirement. The benefits over and again anyone who wanted them already has them and the only people that are complaining are the ones who didnt care enough over the last 10 years to get them anyways meaning you didnt want them bad enough.
This is another non issue that people are getting outraged about because people like being mad. They had over a decade to download these roms all day long but only now are mad that they are being taken down.
"You dont know what you got, until its gone."
Again I ask who in their right mind who WANTED roms (before the beginning of the month), doesnt already HAVE them?
Im confused, if you already own it then what do you need the ROM for? Not to mention ROM sites has been around for a long time, Like 15+ years long so anyone who was "concerned" about having a backup of the game they legally owned had 15+ years to get it done. It is strange to me that everyone only complains when its gone. It is like wanting insurance AFTER your house burns down and being mad that the company wont insure you. Realistically how many people are going out and buying a ...
So because they aren't losing out on a sale, they should let people steal it?
@Benjaminko
You didn't pay for a license to play it on the next console so the answer would be (n + 1).
Why? Because people WANT it? I mean I want them available too but I didn't make them, I don't own the rights to it. What justification other than personal feelings and entitlement do you have for that view?
"It’s hard to care about Nintendo’s bottom line when the stakes are the entire industry's historical record though—which brings us to the heart of the issue, game preservation."
Lets be clear here, These games are already "preserved" There are a lot of game preservation people out there that have all these games and not just ROMS but actual cart dumps. So rest easy knowing that you created an article disguised as caring about preservation because the...
When they expect me to pay for something, why would I expect nothing?
If this was just an addon service that wasnt required for multiplayer sure, but its not, This will be a core service needed to continue to play the titles already purchased that they will now charge for. Having some basic expectations shouldn't be out of the question.
The fact that Nintendo hasn't been able to get their shit together in the online world is baffling, and what is ...
Literally nothing here, no news, no nothing. What a waste of an article.
Less than 2 months away before Nintendo fundamentally transforms their consoles multiplayer aspect and no information about it on a product that millions already own. SMH this is really a bad way to handle this. They should have the details firmed up by now so why wont they tell us so we can prepare ourselves.
Because if you took one customers extremely bad experience with any company you would have zero companies left to do business with. Also because what they are being called out on here is an extreme situation not a normal issue like they do with all their other BS and so people are choosing to not bandwaggon.
Its really not. For instance if you use Itunes and buy all your music through Itunes and all the sudden they delete your account... You would be in the same boat as this person.
Unless I am mistaken this happened in India from all accounts that I could see.
Physical Media cannot be retrieved if lost or stolen is absolutely a "physical" media issue.
And EA deleting one persons account was purely situational.
I dont plan on EA deleting my account every week either so I am good there too.
The issue is that jokes are always and will always be at someones expense if you believe the general philosophical consensus of humor.
Every joke made can be dissected into a "larger" problem. What bothers me and really what I read that bothers most people is the implication that by making or laughing at the joke you are complicit or defending the subject matter which is what is so absurd to the majority of us. If someone makes a joke about a van and free candy ar...
