Is Nintendo finally wising up and going after the software piracy on their DS by changing out the games work within the carts? With the new release of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Rings of Fate for the DS the piracy sites have been all a buzz about the warning screen that shows up randomly. The screen will pop up and say “Thank you for playing.” I’ll give credit to Nintendo for trying, I would truly to what ever I could if I was losing out on millions of dollars a year due to piracy.
I’ll admit, I’ve checked what all the talk is about and it’s way to easy for some one to go out and purchase what is needed to pirate games on the Nintendo DS. Worst of all it’s not like the places to get these games are hard to find.
I can understand the desire for home brew on the DS, as a matter of fact, it should be fully supported by Nintendo. Some of the games that I’ve played that are considered home brew are phenomenal games; they’re fun and innovative and at the same time free.
Nintendo, I applaud you at your attempt to protect yourself from piracy!
EDIT:
As one of my friends pointed out, this very well could be Squre-Enix more than Nintendo. I’m sure after seeing how many people were stealing Dragon Quest Monters: Joker and playing it online, this could be a response to that.
