@Vigilante_Blade @e958359348 @EbolaGW It won’t. I doubt there is a legal way for Nintendo to do this without re-writing the whole system which won’t happen.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Vigilante_Blade @e958359348 @EbolaGW Well it’s not going to change now.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Vigilante_Blade @e958359348 @EbolaGW That argument should have been made by you several decades ago when Nintendo debuted the system. Still not my problem.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Vigilante_Blade @e958359348 @EbolaGW It’s not my problem that you don’t know how Nintendos distinctly games were sold. They never said you can moved games to other consoles. That was never a thing they advertised.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Vigilante_Blade @e958359348 @EbolaGW That’s because on the Wii and Wii U games are tied to the system.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Vigilante_Blade @EbolaGW They won’t allow that due to piracy reasons.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@theretrosunset @Vigilante_Blade And if you can download them, they will still work as long as the console does - digital content on Wii and Wii U is actually tied to the specific console.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Vigilante_Blade @EbolaGW They kinda have to - nobody is going to promise something will work forever - that's not something they can really promise. There are always going to be limits.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Erootsusd @Dragonrana_ Forgot about that but that’s true as well.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@nostalgiaturd @_marokiya He also hasn't spoken about this anytime before his "announcement". Note there is no bill yet.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@TrTriton0501 Republicans won't have to. This won't get any traction since it's not what Dems have shown interest in based on what they are campaigning on. Torres knows this won't go anywhere. This is not a campaign issue that people care about.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@SpringtrapFanFN But that's not always true though.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@KHAOSANIMA418 Well obviously the company producing the game is the only one that is interested in reasonable and they are making the economic decisions that matter. Consumers aren't don't have to decide about making discs or the game.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@Rukifellth @OlGameBoy64 Dems still won't have the votes - nobody is campaigning on anything like this so the chances this even goes to a committee is zero.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@adsate1 It won't go anywhere. Pay attention to what Congress is actually campaigning on and this isn't it.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@TheDank_Voyager @G0VannyG0 It won't. If you actually pay attention to what congress is campaigning on this isn't it.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@snailm0der @I_love_snailsss It totally is performative and we as people should absolutely be against performative legislation that won't pass. This won't even get a vote in the house much less pass it.

[Paul Judd @PureLogarithm]

@RetroChad02 @MrKennycide Then you clearly don't understand how much copyright would have change for this to work - and you clearly don't know what Congress is interested in doing in that matter.
