| cr00mz said: importing and pirating is not the same. |
what I was trying to say is that I wouldn't think any less of someone because they pirated a discontinued game that was never released where they live and therefore was prohibitively expensive. A good example is how I've recently started importing PSX games, the cost of buying the NSTC Playstation (which I got fairly cheap as it was off my cousin) and all the games comes to around £600 ($933). If someone else got all the same games as I, just free and played them on epsxe or another emulator, I wouldn't see too much of a problem as the game is not resulting in one less sale and the alternative methods of getting the game are prohibitively expensive. My only gripe with it is that it is off course not benefiting the 2nd hand retro market and that one could argue that if one didn't download the game, one would buy another game instead.
I despise all other game piracy, such as R4 cards.
