i wasn't referring specifically to you, but that's an argument i've heard many times. that if nintendo wants people to stop pirating their games they should offer everything and until then they do they shouldn't go after rom sites
huh? what does that have to do with what i said?
I didn't say they shouldn't go after rom sites. Don't put words in my mouth.
I don't see people using preservation as an excuse for pirating current stuff, though. It's used more for old games with little or no chance of official re-release.
...oh wow, jealousy?
Well yes that was my point, they don't have that excuse here.
People absolutely used the preservation argument when a certain popular rom site got iced even though their own records showed it largely being used for people downloading popular games that were still being sold.
I don't like this sentiment. If it weren't for roms 16bit Jrpgs wouldn't have been as popular as they are today. Especially in Europe. If Roms hadn't existed a game like Chrono Trigger definitely wouldn't have been as successful as it is today.
you're making things up. i don't see anyone saying they dislike "legal homebrew", just people saying they dislike piracy and are cool with nintendo going after it.
It's like right there. "Not really as bad."Not in the same planet. Not comparable. Whatever. I get your point. My point though is that the Internet is not controlled at all. It was cool for a while when everyone involved was playing nice. It's just not anymore and we need to draw some lines. Don't focus on a exagerated example to disprove my point
Well even though this was a while ago, I'm still expecting it to happen again.
No corporation does, and yet people will defend them to the hilt. Shit is weird as fuck.
We had people in this very thread claim "legitimate homebrew" is not a thing. It's all piracy.
JRPGs became popular independent of emulation. Chrono Trigger is especially a really bad example here, given it really was never all that unavailable legitimately for particularly long periods of time.

So... you're now justifying piracy as 'good for the IP' rather than on preservation grounds?
lol, good to see this is the level of argument that people like you can have.
I can't believe people are still parading this false information around even now...
My mistake. I erroneously thought the ps1 port at least made it over, but it appears it didn't.
