wow, what the heck did a pirate ever do to you? Calm down. Piracy saves people a ton of money, they can play a bunch of games they couldnt otherwise afford. Cut em some slack.

Did you copy the bios from your ps2 yourself? Or download it from the internet?

Dumped it myself on my beatiful modded PS2 which I also used to run Linux! I also dumped the Bios of my GBA myself. I know that stuff quite well, I even was a developer for PSP homebrew back in the day. I'm just a little out of touch in the last few years, because my son was born in 2012 and since then I simply don't have the time to actively follow the scene. I pretty much don't have time for anything anymore, lol. Didn't stop me from modding both 3DS and Vita but so far I didn't have direct contact with cemu. But I can't imagine it's that much different from the old days. If you want, you can play games legally on an emulator. Probably most users don't do that. But it's just silly to condemn each and every user just because of that. Damn piracy all you want, but homebrew and emulators are awesome, have always been awesome and will always be awesome. That's really all I wanna say.

I don't mind supporting a company with money that I enjoy playing their games.  I won't bend over backwards for them though and usually wait for price drops before getting it new off Amazon.  I consider people who pirate cheap bastards.

Could just as well say, what did tax evasion ever do to you? People that evade taxes save a ton of money, and they can enjoy it on a lot of stuff they couldn't otherwise afford. Yet they do make taxes worse for people overall.

Software I've worked on did get pirated. Result not only loss of income, also anti piracy measures that were a pita during development and slowed down the software somewhat due to working with encrypted data. Nvm inconveniencing legitimate customers.

It's simple if everyone pirated software / evaded taxes the industry / society would collapse. Why should legitimate buyers subsidize pirates?

Persona 5 is about as playable in RPCS3 (The PS3 Emu) as BOTW is in Cemu atm.

So looks like Persona 5 will be playable on PC in the not so distant future .

People do use emus to play legit games. Just as people do buy consoles also to play pirate games. In the end it comes down to the person and how they feel about piracy.

I own BOTW on wiiu but i cant wait to play it on my PC in a much higher res then its original system allowed. Being a PC gamer doesnt mean you dont also own consoles. Being able to reply them console games on your Pc looking better then they originally did is a pretty big bonus for the people that is also console gamers and into emulation. But hey not everyone on PC is into emus as PC has its own wealth of games that millions of users seem to enjoy very much.

But hey good job trying to twist the thread into your logic of "PC has no games so must use emus" when in fact emulation is a very very tiny part of the PC User base.

A lot of people either cant afford games or would rather spend it on other stuff. There are enough people that are willing to buy games to subside those people, as long as game companies break even or make a slight profit it's not a big deal. Yeah in theory if everyone did it it'd be a problem, but that wont ever happen. These games are still making profits.

I will be buying a Switch at some point anyways but not for zelda since ill already of finished my wiiu version and then finished it the 2nd time on my PC in a much higher res then even the Switch version.
