Hence the reason to try and get yuzu and the other emulators to stop being out there. They know theyre just hosing their customer base and needed to try and minimize the damage they will do to themselves
So there will not be a way to play it when they eventually turn off their online service for the console. Uh huh. They were what we thought were the last bastions of protecting content/games, now… yeah, okay, they are just shooting themselves in the foot again and again here.

Then they’re all shocked Pikachu that people are so determined to emulate them. You know what games aren’t being jailbroken en masse right now? Steam games. Because the store has been trustworthy since day one. They may break that trust but it hasn’t happened yet.
Not sure I understand the comparison. Steam DRM is easy to remove, and there’s no device to jailbreak as it’s just a PC.

I think that’s my point, that they’ve built such a easy to use trustworthy store that everyone just buys it because what’s the point of stealing anything from them. Vs Nintendo when that’s the first thing people start working on.
I mean, PC games are constantly pirated across the world, but Steam has done things right. Switch games somewhat, although the difficulty means it’s not that popular.

What? Like you don’t even have a few dozen 100 gizgabyte sd cards lying around! An sd card size so massive and expensive that I had to make up the new size “gizgabyte”. It’s bigger then terabyte.
Also a 100 gizgabyte sd card will hold exactly 1 copy of “New Super Mario 64 rerelease edition XL”
Now comes with Luigi DLC. When Luigi reaches bowser, he just shoots him with a gun, and goes to McDonalds despite being anti corporate interest.

It’s worth noting, however, that customer service representatives are often hired by agencies that don’t have intimate, accurate knowledge of a niche issue like this

Like forever, not just because they’re rushing this out the door? There won’t be any Switch 2 carts of cross-gen games?
Guess one way this would happen is if they see a demand for this.

Piracy not a thing from pc games?
Then yeah, preserving games will be as problem, but it’s not a Nintendo specific issue.
Say valve goes under, think you’ll still have games accessible?
As far as know, only gog allows for backup.
Some Steam games don’t come with any DRM and function like games on GOG.

It’s a pain to deal with it, just pointing out that there are Steam games that are fully DRM free.

But everyone doesn’t, piracy is still rampant.

What? Steam’s DRM is so broken that most games are available on pirate sites within minutes of their release.

Why would you ever think they were that
Because of physical media.
As long as you don’t break encryption to dump that media.
When they turn off their online service they won’t be able to brick jailbroken switch 2s…
As an early buyer of the Nintendo Switch, it’s nice to know I don’t need to budget to save up to buy the Switch 2, since I won’t be because of this.
As the title suggests, this is for Switch 2 editions of Switch 1 games.
CDPR confirmed they’re shipping Cyberpunk 2077 on a 64GB cartridge.

Definitely be getting it on cartridge then. Those new SD cards are expensive

your name is very relevant, I must say
I expect this is true. But just to point it out…
From the article:
So it is entirely possible that this is not true.
