I think a big difference here is you can actually play the game off the cart. I’m less motivated to buy a PlayStation game on disc if it’s going to make me install it to the drive anyway.

Less contractors, more FTEs. Always a win

Pirating cracked copies of software you own a digital license to is absolutely not a good solution to go recommending people online as if it’s something that is also easy to do and won’t have ramifications.

I wish that was how it worked, but that’s not the digital world we live in.

Care to explain that last part? As with any drm protected digital purchase, you are buying a license to use their copy not own the content itself. They are absolutely within their right to pull it whenever they see fit, similar to buying movies and tv shows from a service like iTunes or Amazon should the listening deals with the studios run out.

Dont just go around telling people to jailbreak their switch acting like it’s easy and there no ramifications, that’s how you get your Nintendo account banned and all your digital purchases taken away from you.
