It's pretty obvious that Nintendo are against pirating games, and for good reason, which is why they release NES to GBA games for download on the eShop, because buying them in stores now wouldn't grant them anymore money. It's when people pirate a new game like Gears/Zelda and think its cool. Or the other sad people that pirate games like Minecraft which is insanely cheap.


Or people that pirate Team Fortress 2.......when it's free.

Yeah pirating something like Minecraft or a free game is pretty pointless I'm almost always broke money wise and I still managed to scrounge up the 10 euros to legitimately buy Minecraft (during its's alpha stage), but also at the same time I didn't know if it would be worth my money when I first saw it so I had a pirated version for a couple weeks then decided I loved the game and bought it.
