Why do you assume that everyone's into piracy? Of course there're people who still care about Nintendo and Devs and there're also people who don't care. I have Nintendo's stock which worth almost $30K but I don't really care much about this piracy situation.
Hacking Discussion Isn't anyone else here SERIOUSLY concerned for Nintendo or indie devs?

Yes, I sure am concerned about a multi-million dollar company losing money. After all, we know that one download takes the $60 directly from their pockets, oh the humanity!

But then you have to argue you have to pay for TX. So not everyone is going to go to TX. And even then, we know a hardware revision is coming out. So by the time that revision comes out, most of it, kind of won't matter to the public. Then you have those who want to try, but are genuinely afraid to do so since it involves sticking metal in places that it doesn't exactly belong. Oh and I'm rambling again. go figure. But I don't see it as an issue since the hardware revision is just going to wipe the slate clean in the long run. If it was caught much later. Then it would be a potential problem. (I don't think you think it is a problem. I was rambling again by accident)

Nintendo? Not particularly, they are huge.
Indie devs, however, have more to lose, and for smaller ones, you should be concerned.

What is it with this persistent myth that all homebrew = piracy and piracy = loss of sales?
Here's a better, and more in-depth elaboration of this post:
Don't pirate games on the Switch -- beyond the obvious ethical issues, Nintendo has implemented strong anti-piracy measures in online that will get your console banned and aren't circumventable. Technical details: https://t.co/84cbgWm5GU

Nintendo kind of brings this on themselves... With all the restrictions they implement on their systems, it's no wonder hackers want to liberate their systems like they do. Hell, it took from the Gamecube until the Switch just to get them to listen about our bitching of Region Lock. And on Xbox360/One or PS3/4, you can stick the game in, install it to internal storage, and keep the original safe. That's exactly what I'm going to be using the SX Pro for. Dumping my carts to XCI, and keeping my precious carts at home, playing digitally. As well as save management.
There is a rule for me: BUY AAA games like Smash, Mario, Zelda and even the Mario Party series.
The games are $60 true, but they're worth it. BotW even $80 imo.

it's clear that nintendo is the one who doesn't need the money but the indie who are working from home, jobless and hoping that their game will at least let them earn enough money to buy a house and eat well
concerned for ninty or devs? not in general, no.
but I have a gripe when money that could have gone to buying games goes to the pockets of some shitty company that wants to cash in on people that want "free games".
it's not free if you have to pay for it. it sort of defeats the purpose imho.
better make sure the money goes to the right pockets.

CFW and backup loading early on can aid a console's success rather than the other way around. The PSP is a prime example, as it was easily hacked due to the original firmware release in Japan having little security in place (so hackers had full easy access to everything, much like the situation with the Switch). An interesting loop is created where early piracy creates a boom in console sales for said piracy, and these numbers are what studios look at to decide whether or not a port is warranted when making a new game. Although these console sales typically don't account for any game sales as the pirates tend to buy the console with no intention of actually purchasing any games, the sales numbers for the console are still there. So the big boost in console sales drives more devs to make games available for the console, which in turn boosts the number of legitimate console purchases.
