Damn right. Anyway, racers, simulators, and FPS seem to only get better with more advanced hardware since they depend on realism that current consoles still can't offer.Neon wrote:Anyways, carry on dissing modern games, kids. I'll be playing Outrun 2, Dai ou jou, and soon Mushi...

It's one thing to download games you already own, it's another to take ones you don't. And I honestly could care less if people emulate or not, everyone is going to make their own choices and that's super. The issue I have is when people say it isn't stealing, it isn't disrespectful, and it's the same as the real thing.Count me in as one of the loser thieves then. I've bought a lot of games that are easy to emulate (megaman anniversary etc.) but when you're living in a dorm emulation's the only way to go. I brought my ps2, saturn, and dreamcast, and I only barely have enough space for 2 of them at any given time. Why should I bring something I can just emulate? The street fighter alpha 3 cab I'm gonna buy this summer will have to stay home, keeping it here would be an impossibility, the psx, saturn, and dreamcast ports (all of which I own, non-pirated) suck, so I'll have to stick with the rom.
It's respectful to say, "your game isn't worth a penny, and I would never actually put forth an effort to play your real creation, but this version I stole sure is fun!" I bet developers just love to hear that. And I don't see any issue with giving people on Ebay money, they are the ones that originally supported the developers with their money, so by buying their games you're transferring the right of ownership to yourself. And comparing paintings to video games is like comparing ice cream to cadillacs. Paintings are a single creation that can't be reproduced, video games had/have many copies made that are sold commerically.I respect games and game-makers by playing and enjoying their games, not by giving money to people on E-Bay who happen to own their games and now want to sell them.Nemo wrote:Respect for the games, respect for those who make them, respect for the medium itself.
