Reaffirming /r/Nintendo's stance on piracy

With the announcement of the upcoming closure of the Wii U and 3DS eShops, there has been an increase in discussion of piracy, and with that an increase in reports of piracy.

To help users understand the moderation team's stance on piracy, we have written a short guide on where we draw the line.

Okay:

  • Mentioning that piracy exists.
  • Mentioning that the only way to play a game that is abandonware is to pirate it.
  • Mentioning that you have pirated games before.

Not okay:

  • Encouraging someone to pirate a game you can otherwise buy from the Switch (or currently, Wii U or 3DS) eShop.
  • Generally advocating for piracy as a form of revenge against something Nintendo does that you don't like.
  • Linking to or mentioning the name of a website that hosts pirated content.

Failure to conform to these guidelines will result in comment removals or in extreme cases, bans.

We will update these guidelines as need changes and as news is clarified. Please leave your feedback below.

Thank you!
