It looks like my little "Policy" turned into a lovely debate. I just want to say somethings on a more basic view point.

The first time I played Chrono Trigger, was on an emulator, before the 2000's even arrived. I loved the game. Absolutely adored it. A few years later, I found out my friend had the re-released game on the PS1. I played it, and loved it even more since it had all those extras (the load time I could go without though).

Do you want to know what I'll be doing when they inevitably put it on the VC? I'll be buying it, and playing through that damn great title again.

I ask you this:

How does that equate to a loss of a sale? I would have NEVER played the game had it not been for that emulator, nor would I have come to appreciate such a pure gem and work of art in gaming history.

Because I "pirated" or "stole", whatever you want to call it, many things have happened.

- I now avidly support Square by buying their products
- I experienced a timeless game, and show appreciation to those who made it
- I'll be buying the game as soon as I possible can in a fashion in which the parent company makes a profit.

One case of "stealing" made me pour in tons of money to that company in the long run because I KNOW they can produce quality games that I'd want to buy.

You dastardly knave! Don't go seeking forgiveness now, the long arm of the law will root out your villainous kind!

 

On a serious note, region limitations are the best reason to mod, ever. Personally, I wouldn't want to risk damaging my box, but if a devastatingly awesome title was released overseas with no prospective NA release, I might consider it.
