Palworld's playercount has spiked by almost 800% from its lows the last few months, and this is in fact the most players it has had since its launch window, since March 2024.
The only way there is emulation. Sure, you won’t get to use the cool features of their hardware, and you might get to play a buggy game a year after release, but you are not supporting a shifty company - and that counts.
What “cool features” does Nintendo do anymore? The big draw of the switch was that it’s portable, and there’s dozens of handheld PC’s to compete there. Then there’s the motion control, which wasn’t great in the long run and can also be done by emulators with a variety of controllers supporting it
Especially detachable controllers and their games supporting them. You can have two per player in a 4 player game, or 8 where each holds one. I quite liked the feature and found it novel. I am not sure if you can do the same using emulators - or at least do it as seamlessly.
Heey, I have been doing the same. Sick of all of the manufacurers to be fair. I mostly buy the games seocnd hand too because publishers suck, last ones I supported were IOI and if they push always on internet connection in the 007 game I will pirate it.
At first I get annoyed at people confusing the two, but I remember there’s a lot of non native English speakers. And it’s words like this that make it such a hard language to figure out.
Even if they win the lawsuit the message has been sent. Any double A or triple A company can make a descent quality ripoff and get lots of money. Bonus points if they’re somewhere safe from Big N’s lawyers

I don’t care if palworld wins. I just want Nintendo to lose
I don’t think I will buy another Nintendo console ever (unless they turn around) and will only buy 2nd hand games so Nintendo doesn’t get any money.
The sad thing is that Nintendo does make very good games and some of the only great party games left with a low skill entry level

You could just have extra regular controllers. That was always an option. And with the price of Joycons it wouldn’t be much more costly
yup. we use Xbox controllers with our hacked switch
I’ll support Nintendo games. Nintendo is one of the big studios that actually publish finished games, and doesn’t fill them with micro transactions.
I wish their lawyers where less aggressive, but the games are solid.

Big daddy N will never loose sadly.
lose
two O’s is loose. as in not tight.
one O is lose. as in “you will lose”
This one‘s been spreading quite rapidly in the past few years. I wonder what happened.
People going fast and lose the rules of grammar
I’ve seen it on Reddit for the past 10 years, I think Americans can’t spell
I’m the one who corrected them. I’m an american. quit being weird about americans for no reason.
At first I get annoyed at people confusing the two, but I remember there’s a lot of non native English speakers. And it’s words like this that make it such a hard language to figure out.
Yup. Exactly this. Users forgetting (again) there’s a world outside the US.
As an American you’re right. Hell, a lot of Americans can’t even speak. I now a lot of engineers that pronounce “height” as “heighth”
