Eh, I think it's fine for Nintendo to go after ROMs of games that could potentially be sold still.

Going after ROMs of licensed stuff that nobody can make money on anymore though? Eh?

Have you ever made a post on this site that isn't for the sole purpose of shit stirring based on race or attacking the community?

You realize that this kind of thing is what makes people racist? Because they see behavior like yours and to spite it they will actively become the thing you hate to piss you off?

Every time I see one of your posts I feel I slide a little more against what you stand for on principle that nothing you say can be right. So mission accomplished. You couldn't fail harder if you tried.

And don't bother replying. You're now officially on my ignore list.

I find it funny how people talk about Nintendo products like they've got some inherent right to have access to them.

"But Nintendo isn't make them available! So I should be able to just get them for free by stealing them! To preserve history!"

lol

So would you like to tell me who is being harmed when a gamer downloads a ROM of a 25-year old game that is out-of-print and not available through any legal services like virtual console? Thats not to say I believe that piracy is okay, but it isnt even close to the same as stealing a tangible item, and you look foolish by acting like it is.

Well when it comes to emulation, a lot of the games in question arent in circulation/print anymore. No money is stood to be made by these private companies as theyre not even putting that product out. I dont really think its comparable to stealing shoes from a shoe store.

Now if you want to bring up games that are actually for sale by other official means, then that would be a legit comparison for those games

Release your old games on the estore for a reasonable price and dont make people rebuy them on new consoles. Thats how you convert pirates to paying customers.

Did you just completely ignore the context of my post? There are no studios. The studios are dead. They're not profiting from anything. In fact, no one is. Because there is no physical copy anywhere. Of course, pirating active games is not acceptable, but that's not what I was talking about. Though even with active games, the studio still has all their copies. Stealing nikes robs both the inventory AND potential profit.

I have no idea what you're talking about. If you guys were actually talking about some specific scenario you should've said so, rather than being vague and disingenuous about a broad subject to push your agenda.

If this is about a specific incident with different circumstances then that's a whole other thing entirely. This bait truck thing sounds like entrapment which is a whole other discussion.
However, there is undeniably a big difference between actually taking other people's possessions and piracy which is physically just mass sharing and the only harm comes from the loss of potential profit-something that doesn't affect most ancient games.
