Yes you did. All you have to do is look at your first few replys before i even replied back to you and you can clearly see you where pointing to me being a pirate. Anyway i personally dont care what you think of me or what you think of emulation as your opinion is too biased (About losing exclusives as you pretty much admited) to have a proper conversation or for you too look past your bias and see how worth while emulation is.

Instead of looking at how RPCS3 is now you should look to what it will be. Its pretty much no use to any normal user at this time and wont be for a very long time. The Casual group of people who is into emulation wont get into RPCS3 until its running pretty much perfect and can play PS3 games upscaled to higher res's and adding extra effects like with Dolphin. They will also want it to be mostly playable on their gaming Cpu's and not needing to overclock or buy a cpu just for emulation. So the is no point in being like "OMG People can play Persona 5 at like 15-30fps with worse effects then on my console and its costing them maybe 3 times the amount of my PS4 and like 10 times the cost of my PS3" .  like even if every single person who used an emu used it to pirate its only a very very tiny number thanks to needing a pc build around emulation, and hey lets face it how many people do you think is going to do that?. Even more so how many pirates do you think is going to do that?.

Most of the people using RPCS3 right now like with other early emus will be doing so for testing etc. Its at no stage for the biggest part of the emu group and is at a stage where its for people like me who like to mess around with things and report my findings.

But like i said i dont expect you do know this or understand this as its clear when it comes to the emulation scene your in the dark and dont care about it otherwise you would understand how silly it is with the big deal you guys are making about piracy.

MS could have stopped the release of the PS4 version in September 2014 (or do you really think Mojang would have risked the deal by releasing the PS4 version without Microsoft's blessing?)... they didn't.

MS could have stopped the release of the Vita version in October 2014... they didn't.

MS could have decided to not support the Wii U with Minecraft in 2015... they didn't.

MS could have decided to not support the Switch with Minecraft in 2017... they didn't.

MS could have decided to let the PlayStation and Nintendo versions die by not supporting these with patches and content updates... they didn't:

So that possiblity means  Minecraft become XBOX exclusive.

Do you hope it ?

No, why should I hope for less people able to play good games?

No.Emulation isn't stealing is a tool for backing up your games to your computer in case that sh!t happens to your console or games.Furthermore if like you say, Atlus don't care about steam. So Pc only gamers now have the choice to try that game totaly unknown for many, and give them the chance to do what's right and buy the game withouthaving a Ps3 or a PS4.

Why you care in first place? This game isn't a system seller. If at this point you don't have a Ps4, you don't care about it. Plus the Ps3 is already dead ,discontinued in Na and Jp ,so virtually discontinued all over the world. Sony have turned since the Ps3 totally anticonsumer, The blind guardian was aimed for the Ps3 but Sony hold it until they can with disastrous consecuences.Wasn't all that well received by this gen and lost momentum, resulting in poor sales.

I suspect the same happened to this Persona 5 ,probably was put to hold until now and was already done in the Ps3 period. So unfair for us Ps3 owners and they loss a lot of money with this clumsy behaviour. So your opinion is totally biased without solid fundaments. Piracy didn't ruin the console market. Shady practices like smartphones games and f2p bland indy games in one side, and for consoles: multiplayers,dlc,microtransactions, season passes, and huge patches product of overhurried products. Supporting these practices is what actually turns the market even worse. Not a stupid emulator completely unknow for many and released since 2011. Just make your own research and don't misjudge because you lve in your own closed world.Period.

His points hold true and is something you have not answered.

Point1. PC Only gamers who wouldnt be buying a PS3 or 4 for this game in the first place now get to try it and might possibly do the right thing and buy it if they enjoy it. This equals a sale instead of a lost sale as that person would of never intended to buy the original console for the game in the first place.

Point2. If a person doesnt already own a PS4 or a PS3 they clearly didnt have any intention of buying one for Persona 5 so how is it a lost sale?.

The one using strawman tactics in this thread is you.

You call everyone who uses emulators pirates.

You blame PC gamers for Piracy on consoles.

and then like i said when you do reply you use strawman tactics to try ignoring whats being said and keep blaming PC for piracy and emulation for ruining console gaming.

I never said that. What wins is preception of how the market views the product.

Why do you think Samsung is beating so many other Android phones with the Galaxy line when it has no exclusives?.

But lots of other products sell fine without exclusives. I can bet that if no consoles had exclusives it would be the best build console that offers the most features for the least price that would be on top.

A console doesnt need exclusives to sell if no other consoles had exclusives or just times exclusives. All the best selling console would need to do is do better then the rest like blu ray players and tvs etc.

As for how "clean" emulation is... let's be honest here and put potential piracy related issues aside, Nintendo aren't funding and making these exclusives just so that you play them on your PC.

A huge part of the reason why they fund these first party titles is to make us, gamers, buy the hardware. If that wasn't the case, we'd have Nintendo games officially released on PC and other platforms. Personally, I think it hurts Nintendo's business to emulate their games if it's stopping you from buying the hardware.

To illustrate this point further, I doubt SONY funded Bloodborne development with the sole intent of selling just the game, they want me to buy a PS4 as well. Another example that I have to mention is the Halo franchise, Halo games are made exclusively to the Xbox, despite the fact that MS would've benefited regardless of what platform you choose to play the game on, they wanted you to buy Xbox consoles so they can expand the userbase.

One can make the case that emulating first party games and third-party games funded by hardware manufactures isn't the "right thing to do", and I wouldn't disagree.
