They want free stuff.
I mean, who doesn't? But nah, I just don't want to pay a company that does as much horrible stuff as Nintendo does. That pretty much means I own an expensive paperweight which I'm not a huge fan of as well. So I decided it's gonna be a pirating only console.
I never said there was anything wrong with that, I have pirated multiple terabytes of various stuff including Nintendo games (though I play them on my Deck).
I was just explaining what your "philosophical" (🙄) reasons were.
Also you could just sell the switch if you don't like Nintendo. Don't pretend that you are forced to pirate or something.
I pay for my content on basically every other platform. I have a hacked pirate switch because Nintendo's business practices are particularly obnoxious.
Is it "justified"? Fuck if I care. But they're the only games I don't legally acquire, and it's because they're jackasses.
Personally I don't give a shit about justifying my piracy. There are a lot of people in this sub that can't do anything else.
