Pokemon Sun & Moon Pirates BANNED FOREVER

Ryan's hand slap was impressive

i guess Nintendo is starting to work out this whole online thing, step 1 make service step 2 ban pirates step 3 ???? step 4 profit

who ever pirated the game is just stupid and the people who think they can sue nintendo basically have no brain at all

Not surprised Nintendo did this.  Going this far though I wouldn't guessed it.

I mean it sucks for those people but bans are such a common thing now I don't know why you would risk it just to play a week early.

You are basically stealing from the company that sends cease and desist's to almost every fan game and to some Let's Plays. What else do you expect. 

Ryan's receding hairline is distracting. 

Serves them right

I prefer this over every other drm bullshit measure, now other companies should do the same and not only for piracy, also for cheating online

Ryan H Resume: Addendum: Can throw BIG-N gang sign

There is literally no excuse to pirate Sun & Moon at all in any case;

it's a luxury item (you don't need it to live),

it's the same game as it has been for decades,

if you don't have much money buy an older version or download a free copycat game (there are literally thousands),

none of Nintendo's DRM has ever hindered legitimate buyers,

their advertising is legit, always has been - unlike a number of other companies' (ahem, Sony, ahem, EA, ahem, Ubisoft), actually - there's almost no other big companies whose advertising is as legit as Nintendo's!

it had a fracking demo for Pete's sake!

and it sent out early copies for reviews and the like...

If anyone can think of any other ethical reason to pirate then reply and I'll take a crack at why it's not valid in this case...

P.S. "Being a dick" isn't an ethical reason, it's just being a dick.
