There. Instead of a useless blogspam "article", here's a link to the game.

Which is why this flashcart is saying "don't go online unless you're using your own backups". This cart spoofs the unique signature and such to the console. If you download mario kart 8 from a torrent and run it here, you'll trip Nintendo's copy detection. If you go to a gamestop and buy a used mario kart 8, then back it up to this thing and return the cart to the gamestop... Well one of two things happens.

1: Nintendo's system is manually managed and Nintendo checks cartridge certs against a known dataset of pirated copies. You can now play pirated Mk8 online because of your valid cert that doesn't match any known dumps.

2: Nintendo's system is automated and will permanently ban anyone online with a given cert in two consoles at once. You can now play pirated Mk8 online until someone else goes to the gamestop, buys the cart you used, and tries to play online at the same time as you. Now you and the guy that bought the used game are perma'd.

So use a tool like this for call of duty multiplayer lobbies, not globally. Who cares if people "cheat" in single player games?

It's not a block on these sites, it's there to prevent porn and piracy sites from showing up in the "suggested" page that every privacy conscious user already turned off completely.

~~Early Access~~ games should never have a battle pass or cash item shop.

One guy buys, rips DRM, uploads to pirates. That's how almost all piracy works, someone usually had to buy a legit copy.

If my private trackers don't have what I'm looking for, DHT search engines like btdig always have my back when it comes to audiobooks.

People would have to buy and refund this one to bomb it, versus overwatch which was f2p. It'll probably settle at "mixed" or "mostly positive" until blizzard does something to try to squeeze more purchases out of the playerbase again.

It's preserved the same way every other off-the-market game that isn't entirely based on a server is preserved, by pirates.

That's the point though. It's really good to have a website selling DRM-free FLAC music instead of "streaming" it to you for a subscription fee. If "Songtrdr" fucks up bandcamp I'm going back to pirating indie releases which sucks but if they aren't gonna sell me DRM free uncompressed files...

Compete in terms of value, not price. The series S gets you Xbox's current gen game library and a selection of 360 games, and if you're willing to use dev mode a powerful emulation suite. Deck gets a huge percentage of Steam's 20-year catalog as one-click installs, most other PC games that don't use anticheat as slightly more involved installs, every PC game if you want to install windows, and also a powerful emulation suite. Plus it's a dockable handheld instead of something that needs a monitor and controller.

The series S has better media apps and can be woken up from the couch, though.

Child sexual abuse material - underage porn. For obvious reasons, you don't want this to be something you're hosting automatically out of your basement server.
