I hate forums that still have this rule.

Like it made sense maybe...twenty years ago. But in the here and now it just feels like bootlicking.

Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right?

To you. Forum owners don't care they just don't want to get C&D

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

In so many words, perhaps, but the verbiage used by said forums usually goes further and makes it sound like they "respect the publishers of the games we love" or some shit and they won't tolerate it because "NOOOO, YOU CAN'T STEAL GAMES FROM OUR CORPORATE OVERLORDS."

Like, fine, restrict if you feel you HAVE to but quit with the simping.

I understand not allowing linking to ROMs or saying where you got them, but getting modded for just saying you downloaded one and played it is dumb.

Can't talk about Roms but we can make topics on suspended/banned users and trash them. What a joke.

I got modded on GameFAQs once for saying I was playing a Japanese game but no other context given.

They were right, it was a ROM, but nonetheless the mod made that assumption when the post in question didn't have any allusion to the method I was playing it by.

One day future generations will thanks the guys who made them for preserving history rather than shilling corporate bullshit and profiteering. True heroes.

nobody is going to get a C&D for talking about a rom or emulation. especially not emulation
