Renegade Kid's Jools Watsham blog update - 3DS Piracy Revisited
I have always been a huge supporter of Nintendo, the Nintendo DS, and the Nintendo 3DS. If you have followed my vlogs, blogs, and tweets over the past 6 years you will know this. What saddens me is that some people have taken my comments as an attack on Nintendo, the 3DS, and the players. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I wrote this: “If piracy gets bad on the 3DS, we will have no choice but to stop supporting the platform with new games.”
This does not mean I am taking a stand against piracy. This does not mean I am taking my business elsewhere in an action of protest.
What this means is if we cannot make money from developing games we can no longer develop games. That is what can happen if piracy gets bad. If enough people choose to illegally obtain copies of my games for free instead of paying for them, it directly affects my business and my home.
