  You have no issue with a company trying to prevent people doing something legal? Is it only for emulation? Stopping emulation is the illegal part.

      Emulation isn’t piracy and you’re allowed to back up physical games you own. That’s legally your right.

        Technically, you’re allowed to make copies for personal use unless doing so requires bypassing DRM, encryption, or some other lockout mechanism.

        Emulation is still not piracy and neither is making a personal backup, but if making that backup requires anything more than a standard disc drive or a cart reader then it is a DMCA violation.

    lets say you have spend 10 years making a game. and you put it on steam for $10. but wait. you are making $0 dollars because everyone is just pirating it, and then demanding you make a second one.

        Didn’t tears of the kingdom got pirated in like 1 week within release? That must have affected sales in some degree

        The reality is that Nintendo removed your ability to buy those old games for $10, because they’d rather rent you those games forever on their subscription service. If they were on Steam for $10, I’d have bought those old ROMs.

      Nobody is talking about piracy.

        Right… Because not one person ever uses emulators for privacy… Because it isn’t, You know, obviously used for that.

  If you’re going to sit on a fence, what’s the point in doing it on a public forum? What does that do?
