You can still buy the game and play it on pc. Emulation does not equal piracyNintendo: Here is your first new 2D Metroid game in nearly 30 years.
Kotaku: Metroid Dread released two days ago! Here’s how you can (totally not pirate it and) play it in your PC and it’s gorgeous!!
You’re right. Emulation doesn’t always equal piracy. But when we are talking about a big outlet promoting emulating a game that’s only two days old? Yeah, not sure if this is the type of discussion around emulation this forum needs.You can still buy the game and play it on pc. Emulation does not equal piracy
Nobody does this,just look how many streams days before the game was even released of the hundreds of youtube videos with link to piracy sitesYou can still buy the game and play it on pc. Emulation does not equal piracy
If someone wants to rip their switch games and put them on pc so they can run better, I think the option is cool. Kotaku ain't putting any links to pirated copies so I dont see the problem. If people wanted to pirate the game they would have done so with or without this article.Nobody does this,just look how many streams days before the game was even released of the hundreds of youtube videos with link to piracy site

Thank God for pirates
C'mon Kotaku.Thank God for pirates
It like the gun debate,they can only pirate games because of the money people donate to emulator devs,for 1% that purchase games 99% got to pirate things.If someone wants to rip their switch games and put them on pc so they can run better, I think the option is cool.

promoting emulation for a game on release day is pretty close to emulating piracy, since anyone who googles how to do it will be greeted with many guides on how to pirate the game before they emulate it. doesn't really matter tho, since the switch emulation scene is pretty insignificant and tiny.
Preservation of a two days old game,funnyThis is the final paragraph to the article:
If you want to play the rest of the Metroid franchise and don’t want to shell out large amounts of money on old consoles and games, your best bet is also emulation. As is often the case, Nintendo (like most game publishers) is really bad about maintaining access to their past games outside of the few big sellers. Thank God for pirates, emulators, modders, and hackers.
