I’m so glad emulation is easy. Some Sega Dreamcast can play copied games without modchip also.
People are buying them?
. . why?
It’s a nice, cheap, easy and legal way of obtaining the ROMs to play on flash carts, emulators and FPGA systems.
I mean. An RPi and a retropie image is nice, cheap, and easy and it gives much more than a Steam bundle. Plus the legality of paying Steam for a bundled version is - tenuous, at best. Most of those companies haven’t existed for decades and it’s not like the authors are getting royalties anyway.
Why not? There’s still people born who’ve never played those games and come across them. And besides preserving legacy media is actually a worthwhile cause.
Oh absolutely, just that they’re all freely available for download in emulators. No need to pay Steam for them. It’s not like the authors are getting any of that money.
At what point does piracy become a cultural obligation? It’s certainly more socially responsible than the so-called owners these days.
