I don't like Homebrew at all. The people who created it ruined the Nintendo Wii. This is because now the Virtual Console is useless if you can get the games on there for free. That takes away money that Nintendo rightfully deserves. Emulation and hacking on a new system is just ridiculous; it ruins everything by creating so many problems in gaming communities and companies, and many skilled people can lose a match in a game because someone else decided to hack and cheat their way to achieve some goals.
Here's an example:
Once, I was playing Mario Kart Wii. I was playing Balloon Battle online, and one of my teammates was hacking. He stood in the middle of GBA Battle Course 3, and he had a permanent Mega Mushroom, Star, and he also had a constant supply of Winged Shells and Red Turtle Shells. We won the match so easily with barely any effort. Meanwhile, someone on the other team could've been an extremely good player with a very high BR rating, yet lost because some unskilled or unconfident player decided to hack.
I don't mind hacking in older games, but doing it for newer games is pointless. It takes the fun out of the generation that won't come back again. Besides, it's hard to enjoy the game in the first place when you have hackers and people not willing to pay an easily-obtainable $5 to get a game.
I just find it sad that people have to resort to such things, especially since they're able to afford the $250 for a Wii, however much for a computer, and online connectivity.
Homebrew haters, I ask, do you at least respect the Brawl hacking teams?
I respect the Brawl hacking teams for their effort, but I think what they're doing is pointless. What's the purpose of a texture hack, other than to look cool? You're just playing a character with a modified look. All characters' attacks remain the same, as well as the physics of the game and everything else it has to offer.
