Debating what ? Are you pulling the "IP owners don't make their products available on my platform so I am forced to pirate it" netflix card when you own the device the game is supposed to be played on ?
Maybe read the whole comment first before reacting in future?
You mean that part ? Where it says "probably" ? Yeah, I read it. It says "probably".
> Either way I'll probably buy it on Switch because developers should be rewarded for making good games, but it's handy for me to have all of my games in one place.
> Do you act with the same rampant indignation at people who rip their dvd/blu rays to a home NAS so they can watch them without having to faff about looking for the disc?
Only those who claim they probably have the dvd/blu rays somewhere or are planning to "probably" buy them while claiming they'll watch the rip on their home NAS because it's much more convenient.
Unless you also own a switch, in which case disregard!
> Either way I'll probably buy it [..]
If you don't for sure buy it then there is no debating playing it on deck unless what you are debating is playing the game or not.
Admittedly though, I don't care about amiibos or motion controls (I always turn them off when using my Switch).
Part of what makes the discussion of emulators or alternative means of playing games so difficult, is that the loudest voices are those who make it clear that they have no intention of actually buying the product to begin with.
It makes it hard for any conversation around the publisher’s pushback to “protect their IP” to move beyond their need to protect their income stream, and into the legitimate reasons a consumer would want to have more control over how they play the publisher’s game.
