He's just a troll trying to pull a gotcha after failing to put together any actual argument lol

Shhhhh Joyrock, it's ok to be wrong, one day you'll grow up and learn how to handle it.

For real though, you've been doing this since the B8 days, that "Nope" is just a taste of your own medicine.

I don't understand what the big deal is. If they want a review copy all they need is a good PC and an emulator.

We know you don't understand. We tried to fix that but you made it difficult.

tldr: a major gaming corporation witholding a common practice from a major gaming news group because they didn't like that they said something absolutely true that didn't hurt anyone is bad. Period.

Man, just because Nintendo has shitty practices doesn't mean they were wrong just because of it. You sound like a whiny little child.

The fact that the article started with something shady about lawyers means that they knew they were making a wrong choice in bringing up emulation because while piracy and emulation aren't the same, a lot of the times, emulating games are done through piracy and Kotaku knew that.

No, I understand perfectly. Nintendo is punishing Kotaku for something they shouldn't be punished over. Nintendo is in the wrong. Kotaku was definitely stupid to post it, but that doesn't make what happened justified.

No you still don't get it. That's still okay.

I go do some work to end my day and this topic (and you) are still going. Curious as hell.

Did they also have that review where some chick was reviewing Resident Evil 2 Remake and hated that you had to kill zombies and help out cops. And wanted to be a pacifist EMT and heal people instead? Or was that another joke site?
Nevermind I found it. It was in Vice. I didn't give Kotaku enough credit I guess

Pretty sure they are cut off by Square Enix as well for their dumb as shit articles about diversity in FFXVI and trying to paint Naoki Yoshida as a racist.

They are blacklisted by Bethesda for posting leaks when Jason Schrier was there. I know I spelled his name wrong but I'm too lazy to look it up.

"That notion is wild, the police station as fortress/safe haven is laughably naive (particularly for people of color)."
For fuck's sake... you know during a zombie apocalypse I think shit like that would be the least of everyone's concerns.

Man people defending Nintendo here are the worst. This is no different than blacklisting them for giving a bad review. Regardless of how you(admittedly justifiably) feel about Kotaku, this is a big corp abusing their powers to censor a smaller group.

it's not like they aren't letting anyone review their games, just a shit site that blatantly explained how to emulate their games specifically. kotaku isn't anymore entitled to get advanced copies of games than some joke 'news' like newsmax is to have whitehouse reporters with access

Isn't that why they're a name in the first place? Or am I mixing them up with the equally shit Polygon?
No although I'd argue they're both as bad since some people from Kotaku left for polygon. The cancer never stops spreading.

The only way you can defend Kotaku at all is arguing for semantics, it seems. Duhh... but I didn't technically do it myself, I only told others to do it. As if that changes anything

Good lord, half the post in this topic are just Joyrock plugging his ears and saying "nuh uh" over and over again with varying degrees of aggressiveness. It's astonishing that someone could be on this website for so many years and not only not change but some how get worse.

people itt are conflating piracy and emulation when they shouldnt be. piracy is illegal. emulation is not illegal. nobody needs to "dance around" anything relating to emulation discussion, unless they are on gamefaqs where theres trigger happy mods. on a different website, it doesnt matter since emulation isnt illegal
I'm all for emulation and have been very vocal about it but you're in the wrong here. The instance here IS piracy as Kotaku was instructing how to play it before the game is legally out which is all about piracy, and no the "actually all our stores gave out early copies" does not pass reasonable doubt. And unlike something like Pokemon where I don't care about piracy as they're one of the most ridiculously successful games far beyond what they deserve, smaller franchises like Metroid Dread need its sales to determine whether they're justified to get sequels.

all you need is a Switch and emulator and a decently powerful PC, and you kan play Dread on your komputer, right now

The article was released before the game was out. How is anyone supposed to legally emulate it "right now" if the game itself kannot be legally obtained "right now?"
You didn't even have to give kotaku a klick. The quote was screened and posted several times ITT. You tryna seperate emulation from piracy has been irrelevant since post #11.

it can legally be obtained by walking into a store and buying it off the shelf if that store broke the release date. its only against the contract for the store to sell it. the buyer isn't doing anything wrong

So the proof exists but you don't want to see it since it wrecks your argument. It's ok, just take the L.

You mind explaining to me how one legally emulates a 3DS game using "only a PC" seeing as it requires very specialized hardware to read the cart?

Surely in order to do this you need more than just a PC. If you had access to a store which broke street dates, it would be a trillion times easier to just play it on the 3DS.

I honestly never had a real issue with Kotaku but I'd never seek out their articles either like a sort of homepage. If someone would say share a link from them I'd click if the topic seemed interesting.

I also did not read this whole topic so this a blind post. I also thought they'd love Persona 4/5.
