From that consoles only Xbox was paid and at the begining xlink and that kind of services sucked on the 360 only actually playable after hacking the system and removing the ping limit.
I'm not saying it was perfect. My point was these kids on the first page, some of the shittier comments now deleted, join gbatemp, have experience with only the current Gen scenes and think they know it all. Which isn't too bad except for the fact that when a noob ask a simple question these kids become total assholes and don't even know what they're talking about.
you know if people like you would just STFU with this sentiment and protest and complain instead of encouraging them then they would just reverse their course and not charge at all
A tunnel system to put local/Lan play online does not replace an online service. The option was great, like Xlink and the like. Playing Phantasy Star Portable 2 was fun.. I even bought some shitty adapter.
yeah if by "people" you mean '95% of people waiting for CFW' then yeah youre right
The pc end replaced the online service features. Friends list, game finding, score keeping, etc.
If you can't handle $25 for a year or online play you really shouldn't be gaming and should instead be worrying about your financial situation.
My guess is most people buying another switch just for homebrew are doing it with the hopes of piracy. I just don't see the point in paying $300 purely for userland homebrew. For less money you can pick up something like the nvidia shield portable for emulators, which will have a native emulator without the need for exploits to run them.
Unless you pay for the services, you won't be able to play with others. There's an alternative on the Wii called WiiMFI or something like that. Even if this makes it, you would only be able to play with people from games on that same server. I'm not even sure if some games like Minecraft would even work with this on servers such as Mineplex in the near future.
The point is it's been shown that piracy is not very likely to happen on the switch due to its much tougher security. On top of that unless we get homebrew exploits for higher firmware you'll be stuck with only the first 7 months of games releases to pirate, and that's if you got piracy. It likely won't be as easy as dumping the game and installing it on another.
But paying $300 for it? And the economics of the switch aren't that great by default. The nvidia shield portable is much more comfortable to use
People say this every gen. The 3ds was "impossible". There will be a way to spoof fw without tripping efuses. Mark my words.
When people who worked on the 3ds are the ones saying it is unlikely, I'm much more inclined to believe them than you.
