It's annoying how gamers are treating Switch 2 piracy and emulation as a foregone conclusion (hexbear.net)

I'm not saying it will never happen but just wait and see where we are in like 5 years. People are acting like they'll be able to play the new Mario Kart on their computer this time next year

Who knows what kind of nasty DRM they've got running this time around even if people can find a way to hack the console and dump games

In order to justify a $500 console they'll have to give it more than just Youtube and Hulu+ for entertainment apps this time around - If not they're shooting themselves in the foot.

Even then they'll have to implement Webkit just for Wifi sign in pages, so someone will eventually find a way to exploit some browser engine bug into full blown arbitrary code execution. I give it a year before PoC game cracks and basic emulation and 2 before commercial launch games are at least playable on high end systems.
