Yes. I pirate Blur for PC, because nobody will sell me a legitimate Steam key for the game. So fuck 'em, I have no other choice. It's the best modern combat racing game out there, and I just wanna buy a legit copy.
Not really, just because you can't officially obtain it doesn't give you the right to steal something. Like Nintendo with Mother 3 they haven't ported it to America so I should be able to pirate it right? No, what if they do it later, it is still their property not yours to possess. But who cares really, morals for something like that are not necessary. Morals for more serious things are necessary like don't have sex with a child. But as far as pirating a game it's just if you can live with yourself or not, it's just you feeling guilty no one else cares nor will they punish you.
yes and no!
I beleive that it is not piracy under that circumstance especially if you paid for it once.
However I also beleive that we are the idiots for keep buying their shit and letting them get away with going alll digital!

How it is possible that people pair terms as rape and steal to piracy? WTF
Duplicating some code is nowhere close to harm someone.
Yes, I do pirate gaming since the nineties of the past century. And I have tons of stuff paid, much more than everything I could have unlegitimately duplicated.

How do people fail so bad at reading comprehension? I didn't compare rape and piracy, I said one was who cares and the other was serious.
Absolutely yes. And folks comparing it to non-consensual sex/or child rape are crazy.
Lil Samson can NOT BE PLAYED without dropping 1000$ or emulation. Games like this are pretty much any game not on PS5, PS4, XBONE, Xbox series, Switch, or PC via modern launchers

Speaking strictly in retro gaming? Yes. I feel no guilt in downloading games from a bygone era. In recent years? No…
If a game is stuck on PS2, PSP, Vita, OG Xbox, or any Nintendo console before the switch. then the companys get NO MONEY from you playing them
This post was likely made due to Citra shutting down or the general talking of emulation in the gaming community. Yuzu was shut down "fairly" rightfully caused by the people using it wrong and Yuzu taking the blame for it. Citra should still be in the right but is merely guilty by association. I don't think Nintendo was specifically out to get Citra shut down, as the haven't done this for other popular emulators that many people use ONLY to play pirated games
My stance too. I'm not buying a working GBA, charger, and game the publisher doesn't care to sell anymore from some random person on eBay when I can use the hardware I already have.
Morality has never factored into my decision to pirate anything. I wasn't going to buy it in the first place, so it can't be counted as a lost sale.

Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
