I don't like to generalize, but I don't ignore what the majority does. And emulators are used most often to freely play games someone doesn't own. Yes, emulators should be made for when the console fades away, but to say it needs to be ready before the console leaves? I feel working builds shouldn't be released to the public until the console itself has been discontinued.
"I wasn't going to buy it anyway" doesn't really hold up as an argument. Software is weird in that people can pour months of their lives into a digital little something. The disc isn't the game, the code is. In this sense, the code is the car that was manufactured. It's the cake that was baked. It's the fruits of their labor. Does it cost them anything when someone plays their game for free? Well, no. But is it fair that someone just ignores the work put into the game (nevermind the laws protecting it) and doesn't give credit where it's due? Game studios do continue making money on the game after it goes on the market- they weren't paid a flat rate. They get bonuses and whatnot, and that depends on how the game sells. And honestly, I've seen what game development can do to someone and their family. It's intense, and they really do need to get as much as they can for that work.

Gonna be honest, I misread the second paragraph as supporting the "wasn't gonna buy it anyway" argument, but had written all this already. Consider my second paragraph a PSA, not directed at you.
And I agree that emulation has a place that shouldn't be compromised by punks. I feel the losers who take things they don't pay for should pay through the nose in piracy fines to make examples of them. Without the kids who do mental gymnastics to defend taking someone else's work for free, emulation is a legitimate thing that is really important. But for every person like you who is concerned about keeping emulators as tools to enhance games they own, there's a hundred cunts who just want a game without having to buy the game and/or the console it's on.

And the is millions of cunts who buy the console to pirate them games on said consoles, many more then who pirate on an emu so whats your point?.
Face it this is not about piracy here with you. its about the fact Persona 5 can now be played on another system. Am i a cunt for playing a game i own on another system?.

Why are you making this so personal and throwing accusations directly at me? I could just as easily go on a tirade about why you're really so interested in emulation, but I'm not. You're trying to make it personal, and at this point you have to realize that never works out for you on this forum.
