Pirates want to stay on Reddit? This is the last group I had expected to have such a reaction, but here we are. Yes, the mod could have worded it better, but these people actually want to stick around on Reddit.

I personally find Lemmy to be a perfectly viable alternative to Reddit for such subs. I wonder about the reasons why these people still don't want to move.

Especially their back catalog. Nintendo is sitting on tons of lost money for reasons I don't really understand

If they sold the old games still piracy rates would probably go down and they would get more money, so it would be pretty much a win-win for Nintendo. Or am I missing something?

No, you're right, and that's absolutely what I'm saying. Presently, the only avenue if you want to relive the old Pokémon games is to steal them. That, if you ask me, is big dumb

Ah, okay. Guess I'll just keep pirating Nintendo games then, half because I hate Nintendo and half because it's the only way to get them now.
