Because it’s fucking pointless to respond when one side won’t even admit to piracy being a thing.

One person asked for evidence for piracy, which we all know happens, it’s not a minor thing but sources are all over the place, and everyone going ‘see piracy isn’t a thing’. Well proves the other side then. Prove how many people only use these devices legitimately.

You can’t. You can only say legitimate uses happen, piracy uses happen. And don’t fucking bullshit me that those rcm jigs were mostly sold for homebrew only.

It’s a pointless conversation at this point because I asked for evidence and the response is strawman, changing the topic to justification, just like the NRA does and there’s no benefit to continue and just leave it at that.

Who knows, like you said, scene groups, maybe people who just want Internet points and want to upload files, people who just want the convenience of novelty. Same, I’ve dumped my own switch games via USB so this seems very just novelty to me and maybe it’s pick it up just to have it.

But yeah, gone are the days when you’d go rent a nes, snes games into floppies and needing a external dumping equipment so I don’t really know who this device is for but it’s interesting how many people are so defensive that you point out piracy device is mainly for piracy.

What evidence do you have that most of this is used for legitimate backup purposes only?

I’ll join you in the downvotes and say I one hundred percent agree with you here.

People will go on and on about legitimate issues but downvote tooth and nail when you correctly day this was developed and sold primary for piracy.

And let’s face it, this is built and sold for mainly piracy with the very few who are using it for legitimate uses like preservation.

I’ve got a steam deck and a host of other steam deck competitors that do that and more now.

I think what’s missing is the malicious compliance right after these conversations that many of us engineers have.

Engineer: Sure captain, I’ll do what you ask but I’m going to need you to send me a communique stating that this is what you want me to do.

My old ass Galaxy S5 had a ip67 rating, dropped it into a pool once and still working to this day, so apple and the rest of these phone manufacturers can piss off with this flimsy excuse especially when they’re charging me hundreds of dollars.

I had the same first reaction and just thought, huh art imitating art, we’ve come full circle.
