Dat modding support though.

Emulation is not piracy! They're often related, but not always, and they're definitely two very different things.
Another emulator using new games as a promotion to make money. Not as succesful as Cemu though. Cemu is already up to $41,346 monthly income since Zelda. RPCS3 only gets $1,470 so far, up from $1,000 in March apparently.
I wonder how the morality swing will go when P5 is available on PS Now.
Good Good. Soon we will be able to run it at 4k which will be glorious!
The video is using a pretty old setup too. I wonder how it runs with modern hardware.

Its way less than you think it is and you are completely overblowing the situation lol.
By the time the game is completely playable on PC - majority of the people who will be playing this will be those who already played or owned P5 but want to experience it in a higher resolution or FPS.
I highly doubt that there are many people who are waiting in the shadows to pirate a game like this simply because they dont want to buy a PS3/PS4 or the game itself lol.
Not even 1% of the total owners of the game in total sales. |
Any way to back up your numbers?
From 2011
The most pirated Wii game was Super Mario Galaxy 2, with 1.28 million downloads.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 sales: 7.55m (vgchartz) about 17% piracy rate unless those 1.28 million downloads already owned the game.

What I find odd are people who don't want to be in the thread, decide to pop in the thread and go about discussing piracy, rather than the topic of the thread in question, let alone the video.
if this is how each and eevry thread with any form of emulation is going to go, then we'll, be getting nowhere. I'm hoenstly getting tired of seeing the same type of responses over and over again whenever emulation is brought up. Like someone who is heavily into religion, gets annoyed that someone doesn't like their relgiion and then proceeds to hound them for it, like anyone that talks about emulation on here is instantly met with people who want to break said people down and call them pirates. It's like religious folk calling scientists, people who actually want to progress, as being the devil's worshippers.
I think it's a good thing that we're seeing people being this dedicated to what's going on with the different emus out there. Better than having average joe #45 yelling "Filthy pirates!" over and over, while trying to justify their reason for labeling and vilifying said people.
Edit: well it looks like the thread has become derailed, thanks to two people adn their major focus on piracy, rather than the topic video itself, amazing.

Today, even Xbox fans don't care about their games.
Niche game victories.

Sure. If you buy the game. And really the point of the games is to get you to buy their console. And their controllers. And their services etc. What percent of people that will "emulate" these games - own a PS3/Ps4? What percentage will even bother to buy the game? That percent that doesn't? Is pirating it. |
Wow, that's a really rough simplification. Anyway, I'd say emulators are somewhat comparable to unofficial coffee pods for coffee makers, or the similar thing for printers, etc. Do you consider that too piracy? Those companies aren't somehow entitled to their other products being bought too. An emulator is more like a competitor than an illegal replacement. The unfortunate thing about emulators, of course, is that they make other, illegal acts easy, but that's probably not their intention (at least usually).
Piracy is a form of copyright infringement and nothing else. It's the act and not its results.

I'm not on about you directly sparking it, but the ones instigating the general talk of piracy within this thread. It isn't hardly to see who exactly.

Are those both emulators? 2 different groups of people working on them?
