Nintendo outlines desire for stricter piracy prevention, sends recommendations to U.S. Trade Representative
It’s no surprise to anyone that Nintendo doesn’t like folks pirating their games, but in recent years it has come to the attention of the general public that piracy doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on game sales as far as the big picture is concerned– after all, both the gaming industry (Nintendo included) and Hollywood have seen profits skyrocket over the last five or ten years, despite the fact that piracy is more prevalent than ever before– but that doesn’t mean companies like the Big N are going to stop trying to fight piracy in whatever ways they can. This time around, they’re asking the U.S. to target countries like Brazil and China with raids to make examples of folks who share pirated material.
– Nintendo statement
Even Nintendo isn’t immune to silly lapses in logic at times! Not to say piracy isn’t an issue at all– just that they’re doing more than fine (well, save for Wii U sales) even with piracy more rampant than ever. Isn’t that good enough!?
