No one is debating this. Anyone who does is trying to be ironic.

god I wish it would actually hurt the industry, we're long overdue a new great video game crash.

Not the economy of my country since we barely produce any games, and the ones who do program them are a bunch of indie jobless hippies, so I don't give a fuck

the economy doesn't serve me

i don't care

Lick the boot.

Point to the victim and prove how much money they lost. This is impossible because you can't accurately determine whether someone would buy a product or not if piracy wasn't available. Assuming people would have bought it is not good enough.

How else am I suppose to play Shining Force three? No Saturns are in production any more and no copies of the game are being made. Ergo how do I play it?

>we're long overdue a new great video game crash
Who are you people that are so fucking self obsessed that you believe an entire industry of hundreds of thousands of people, maybe even millions, deserves to crash and burn if it does not serve you in exactly the manner you demand? We are not overdue a crash. What the fuck do you think that will even achieve?

I am the consumer. My word is law in the free market.

it's beyond victimless, it actually benefits devs

LMAO I KNOW RIGHT

Nor does it matter
Emulating shit that literally can't be bought legally or potentially even be played doesn't make a difference you bootlicking retard

Nope. The word of the mass of consumers is law. Your individual word is irrelevant.

The consumer is not king. The free market is based around compromise between two self interested parties. The notion it's always been about pandering to the consumer in the way they demand is a myth the American service industry invented to trick idiots into thinking they matter. It's just a ruse and you fell for it, moron.

If you pirate, you hurt the economy and Donald Trump’s re-election campaign, which will lead to more SJWs destroying vidya.

Blow it out your ass.

I have never heard a compelling argument against digital piracy in my life.
99% of the people who bitch about it are corporate richfags who certainly aren't going to miss a few """""""""""""""""""""""lost sales"""""""""""""""""""""""

If you dont want me to emulate then produce some new cartridges/discs. The money isn't even go towards the people that made the game anyway.

NOOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BUY PHYSICAL
YOU CAN'T JUST NOT PAY 150$ FOR ONE SNES GAME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I mean like he said if they did reproduction carts I would not mind buying physical.
But having to go through scalper and collectorfag autists who mark up prices for old games is fucking bullshit.

I'll gladly buy physical.
Just don't charge me $150 for a copy of Super Metroid with the label torn off and "nigger" scribbled on it in permanent marker.

>The money isn't even go towards the people that made the game anyway.
This is such a meaningless whinge. Guess what, that's how almost every single business on the planet operates. The people that make the shit get a salary and the people that pay for the salaries and the resources get the profits. Fuck off, commies.

I'm emulating the PS2 on windows running in a virtual machine right now.

I don't give a fuck.

The closest official thing you will ever get is mini-consoles with the roms pre-loaded. And of course you'll only get 15 games and it will be a total gamble as to whether or not they're all actually good games.

Good.

Oh no I would hate to do anything that hurts the economy

oh no not the economy

back to work peasants, so you can pay us more of your money

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE JAM

literally the only point in buying a game is to support the devs that made it

>people pay for a game
>the company takes that money
>the company pays the people who made the game
Hmm where could the connection be here

how about you kill yourself fag

>stance so retarded they had to create a law enforcement agency to hold it together
lol get fucked, Disney
