What's great about libre software is that piracy just becomes you exercising the freedoms you're obligated to and becomes a form of praxis. Instead of needing an excuse, you have a duty to share the software.
I don’t even buy new games. Video games have almost all just turned into scams these days.
they used to be designed to oscillate in difficulty around getting as many quarters as possible in arcades
I actually used to buy Wii and 3DS virtual console games, cause I wanted to support more old games being available via 'legitimate' means. But
-
'Legitimate means' is bullshit, just yoink em
-
Buying them officially was 99%-100% of the time worse than using an emulator from the 90s (hi ZSnes, hi Nesticle lol)
-
The people who made these games aren't getting the money. Even if Hitoshi Akamatsu was still around at Konami, there's no way they'd give him a cut of every copy of Castlevania sold. Most times you're just paying whoever has the publishing rights.
-
When they shut down the Wii store and stuff, that was kind of it. Lol
-
i will still pirate if they sell it to me i just like not spending money on things
