Yes, but if they don’t participate in this arms race then it will be too easy to emulate their hardware and it will be their own fault when people pirate their games. This is what I’ve gathered from reading opinions on Nintendo hardware here on Lemmy.
What nintendo needs to do is release games on pc. I would not pirate their games if i could buy them.
People have been saying "Nintendo should release their games for Platform That I Like" for decades. Pretty sure they're content with doing what they're been doing.
You're not wrong, but we've seen time and time again that piracy decreases with improved access. Look at what Spotify and netflix did to curb piracy.
This might be a broader conversation, but i see traditional consoles dying off soon. Look at xbox and playstations entrance into the pc market via online streaming.
I dont doubt theyre content suing the pants off creators showing emulation of games that havent been for sale for decades, but they are undoubtably anti-consumer at this point.
I see no point in shelling out a couple hundred bucks for a switch with a quarter of the computing power of my steamdeck, much less my pc.
