So its here again Nintendo trying to stop the homebrew people, seriously why are they doing this.
they are making so much money on the wii right now, why do they want to do this, its part of why the wii is so popular!!!! When it comes to homebrew i think its cool, you can play and use freeware that people have worked on, whats the harm in that, and when it comes to pirated games, okay I agree its a little sad, I try to buy as many games as possible, but I wont pay for crap, you know I pay for Zelda, Mario Galaxy, The Conduit etc, but i wont pay for crap like Alone in the dark, so I downloaded it to check it out, I tried it and it sucked so I never played it again. Now if nintendo had a good way to play games as downloadable demos then i would have never downloaded it from piratebay in the first place. The gaming industry is generating more money than ever before especially Nintendo witch is leading the console war right now. Hardcore gaming fans pay for the games that they love, but we wont pay for crap, If you want your games to sell then make a good game and stop it with the wiimusic crap. The wii has endless potential it could be an online community for gamers to meet and make friends, you can surf the net, check the weather, use freeware apps that people had made, sync it with your NDS etc. So Homebrew is good and piracy doesn´t really harm the industry its only saying that the consumer wants something else and the entertainment should be delivered in a new way. You know like Itunes, ever since Itunes was created piracy has started to slow down in the music industry and soon they are starting with a similar service for the film industry. You know people pay to see a good movie like Juno or the dark knight on the cinema but they wont pay for some crapy film by Owe Boll (Alone in the dark, House of the Dead etc)
I couldn´t care less if nobody pays to see his movies =) you know what I mean?
Stealing is wrong, and piracy is wrong but to pay for something that isn´t good that is also wrong the consumer has a right to demand quality =) But Nintendo is going the wrong way about piracy, because freeware apps is not piracy and the new system update does not stop piracy it stops the homebrew apps. And the piracy that exist is a sign that the consumers are not satisfied with the way nintendo has done their structure. They need to start thinking of new ways to distribute their software and new ways to help gamers communicate with each other, to create a new interesting experience for their gamers. Instead of taking something away they should create something new, that would be a mutch better strategy to get rid of piracy and satisfying the consumers.
