    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    Spotify really highlights what's empty about the righteous copyright morality policing. By paying for Spotify, we're doing The Right Thing according to The Law, but we're hurting artists, and we're making culture shittier. You can't really DJ with Spotify. It's tedious to make any kind of...

    Discussion Rise of the Ronin or Stellar Blade, which do you think will score a higher meta?

    Ronin seems almost like the perfect Team Ninja game to me. It feels like the game they've been trying to make for 20 years. I can't see it not being great. Stella Blade there's so many question marks around.

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    The same evil behavior "playing shared game files on the interning" takes place on essentially every physical official console as well. Did Sony ban the PSP because it was used to play evil pirate copies of software?

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    Yes, and it would be legal to sell Yuzu at Target for real money too. The reason it doesn't happen isn't because it's illegal, it's because retailers obviously want to maintain a good relationship with Nintendo. We just saw this play out recently when Dolphin was not approved on Steam due to a...

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    you're just wrong that this is criminal activity. the fact that yuzu settled doesn't mean anything. the little guy got muscled by the big guy, and that's it. sorry you can't see this, but i don't see a reason to continue talking to you about it

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    He was responding to this: "For me that's fine and justified, I draw the line when people claim to be preserving the game yet its still publicly available like Switch games" Yuzu doesn't preserve games. It doesn't distribute games. It doesn't dump games. It is a software emulation of Switch...

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    you're confusing romanian rom site maintainers with emulation developers. two separate groups of people. the first is doing activity criminalized by the US, the 2nd is doing activity protected by the US.

    don't get it twisted that i'm some spencer defender just because you've decided to make me your nemesis on here. you can find my posts about him, they're not positive.

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    The Yuzu website explained how to dump keys and games from hacked Switch hardware, totally legitimate to do. The way you're phrasing makes it sound like they were linking to torrent sites or something, and I don't think you can defend this. Bragging about how good your software is is half the...

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    Everybody agrees that serving unauthorized games from the internet is copyright infringement. It is officially criminal activity. Also, we all do copyright infringement. If you never torrented a game, I'm sure you broke copyright in some other form. This is why we're really spreading publisher...

    Discussion Phil Spencer is the reason why xbox it's failing, Microsoft made a big mistake to put Phil as a CEO at Xbox. He has to go.

    xbox is dying because they lost bungie, they lost almost all their big 360-era exclusives, and they completely failed to establish new hits. they allowed playstation to catch up to them in online multiplayer features, and they ran out of ideas to stay ahead. then they committed public suicide...

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    But you're completely wrong about this. It's so hypocritical to be a enthusiastic about a "Game Museum" and not defend Yuzu, at minimum on the grounds that Switch emulator development is 100% legitimate, socially beneficial activity. If those developers were passing around ROMs on their...

    Playstation If You Were in Charge Of Playstation, What would you do Differently?

    I'm not claiming he said day and date. I'm only saying there is a more aggressive push to PC than we saw under Jim Ryan. He uses the words "aggressively" and "proactively" specifically in the context of "growing the first party through multiplatforms such as computers". Any other interpretation...
