Well, bye guys. It is quite late here, I will sure come check on this flamefest tomorrow if it's still around. It is mostly nonsense and 2¢ morals but it was fun so far.
That isn't the problem - the company renting the game out payed for the game, when you borrow them - you help pay the lender for the game. The money the lender earns, helps to buy other titles to rent out - and guess what that means? The money goes to the devs. Clearly you haven't thought it through hard enough.
Not if you dont pay for the product... Morality 101

Ok so a game rental business buys one game for $60. Lets say they rent that out to 100 hundred people. The game dev got $60 instead of $6,000 because instead of those 100 people buying the game, they just rented it. The only ones benefiting are the renters and the game rental business, not the devs.
Homebrew != Piracy. Usermode is more than enough.

Clearly some people don't know the definition of homebrew.
I don't really see a moral or immoral outcome here. Considering the circumstances mentioned earlier, one of two things will happen:Not if you dont pay for the product... Morality 101
That's nice, but, I couldn't care less as that has no relevancy to the debate at hand, so, why bring it up? You white knight sycophants are all the same, impose your agenda on thousands of people, I'm sure it'll work, it's an infallible plan after all. You're a developer, whoop dee shit.
Ignore him, he's trying to kiss the OP's butt
Hacking/modding consoles hasn't been legalized either.
Actually, its 100% legal in EU.
And no, im not "kissing 3 ops ass" im trying to protect the industry i will be working in for the next 60 years...
Pretty sure Nintendo could give you a nice lecture why Homebrew and hacking their devices is wrong, since this is morality 101.
Doesn't make it anymore legal.
But I don't live in the EU, so, therefore, you can't tell me what to do because I live in the US, I do what I want and people like you aren't my mother. Spare me your morality lecture bullshit, please. I'm sick of it.

A - I copy a balloon = no profit nor loss.
B - I don't buy a balloon = no profit or loss.
Have fun getting Sued, cheers!
Ah but there is - if you really wanted the baloon, you would've paid for it. If you couldn't copy it but you really wanted it, you'd pay for it.
And I don't live in the EU, so, therefore, you can't tell me what to do because I live in the US, your laws have no effect on what I do over here. Now please, spare me your morality lecture bullshit, please. I'm sick of it. Dev or not, don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do. Okay? Okay.
Is hacking a console morally wrong for you?
Wrong again. The money they get back for the game goes towards the purchase of another game - so the devs benefit. The profit gained, helps feed the peoples families who work at the renting company. Seriously - how inconsiderate can you get?
