      They owe you nothing, stop sucking corporations balls. You won’t be compensated for your “efforts”.

        Artists, actors, producers, and developers need to be paid for their work and piracy takes that away from them. By stealing Intellectual property you are preventing them from being able to earn money. You are also breaking the law, Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits the distribution of pirated media, you are literally a criminal for doing this, I hope they rape you in jail.

          Wow, why go into such length. Seems like I struck a sensible cord. Who said I’m breaking the law. We are just talking here, nothing is happening. Some content is not even available in some part of the world. Not everyone lives in the USA.

            Because piracy is also morally wrong, it takes money away from creators.

            If you’re sitting here making an argument favoring piracy I bet you’re definitely one of the ones doing it, why else would you be sitting here defending it if you didn’t have a stake in this illegal trade.

              Morally wrong… Boy, that’s a bad take. A recent study by the Video Game History Foundation has shown that 87% of games are not available meaning they can’t be bought legally from the copyrights holders (used/resales doesn’t profit the corporations).

              [Source]

              E.g most NES/SNES games are not available legally on Nintendo own service. Should these pieces of art be lost to time? (because yes, I do think they should be considered an art medium) No, that’s why emulation/piracy is a necessity to ensure games preservation.

                Used copies are the only way to do it without violating copyright law, it doesn’t matter how inconvenient it is.

                The Citra Dev team very much approve of my stance on this, you need real hardware to dump firmware and to own the games to dump them.

                Also those are video games, quit whining like they’re some amazing painting, they’re a commercial product, not a work of art.
