Really poor analogy. Nobody makes money off of ROM's of 15+ year old out of circulation games, and the publishers lose no money either because those games are no longer available new. Comparing the Emulation of 15+ year old consoles to modern day game piracy just doesn't work. Nintendo just struck a huge blow against game preservation efforts, because they just set a precedent that is causing other ROM sites to close. |
You make it sound like Rom sites are historical societies preserving these precious video games to history and doing mankind a service.
Any "rom" you want, you can find that game somewhere from somebody and pay money for it. End of story. Just cause you don't want to pay some Ebay price of $100.00 for a game made in 1981 doesn't give you the right to pirate it.
