There’s a difference between making a crappy emulator on a PC, where you can adjust everything and make it work passingly on a screen, and making a new stand alone version that functions on a console with functional aspect ratios, proper verification of functionality, or testing. Not to mention the required…

Sony is doing a walled garden, something Nintendo used to do. IE Your device can’t play with other devices in the same game.
Yet notice exactly zero of these people were out and complaining when Last of Us got re-released on the ps4 and you were expected to pay for it again. This particular mindset only seems to apply…

Out of touch much? What do you think the DMCA is, random words tossed together? No, it was changing copyright laws in response to exactly this kind of stuff. The laws were updated, people don’t like that. The personal backup copy is spelled out in the DMCA, added because of that older ruling that allowed them. The…

Fine. Stealing is unethical, therefore you have to grounds on which to based your discussion of ethics. You don’t get to decide “Well I feel following the law does jib with the ethics I like, so I’m going to ignore the law and declare myself the ethical one!” That’s not how ethics work. You’re expecting a company to…

Except the law says you can only keep a back up of that original, in the original form. You can’t copy it to your PC and play it (Something that’s specifically spelled out on the copyright website), you have to buy a cartridge and copy it to that. (You cannot copy a ROM to a PC except to transfer it to its duplication…

Fuck you for thinking that paying for a game once, years ago on a console, entitles you to every version of the game they ever make. They’re a company, not a charity, and if they had to give everyone a free copy of every old game they’d ever bought, they’d never port ANY of the games forward. Why bother? Pay money to…

1. A lot of this sites set up in countries where copyright and trademark enforcement is almost non-existant.
2. 17 million people in a month is a lot of people. Nintendo has also demanded, and will likely recieve, the information about where these ROMs were acquired and who downloaded them, opening up everyone who’s…

Because these two sites had 17 million visitors. It’s logical that most the other roms came from or passed through these sites. Nintendo has also demanded the info about where the ROMs came from and who downloaded what ROMs. If they’re granted that information, they’ll have a treasure trove of people to sue.

Except every single game in question here can cross-play with a PC player, leading to running into hackers and bots anyway.

You realize there’s just as many game hackers on the consoles as the PC, if not more? The detection system just isn’t there for them. And most the games being discussed CAN cross-play with PC users, so you still see the same hackers.

“knowing there’s no way they will catch up to Sony”. Ummmm the Switch 1st year sales were higher than the PS4 first year and the Switch had a longer shortage problem than the PS4 did. Catching up is more than a possibility at this point.

Did no one buy the deluxe version of Detroit then? Heavy Rain was free with that.

Shhh. I’m quoting the president. I know that, but he doesn’t.

Yep. the tariffs one Mexican products is us taking money from them and should be used to build the wall.

The online comes with cloud saves. Close enough.

You can’t play Fortnite on the XB1 without a Gold subscription.

I seem to remember more burns on Sony than the other way around. Hell, SEGA did better burns of Sony than anything Sony ever did.
“Fly plaything, fly. You are not ready.”

You seriously underestimate how many parents would get plus for their kids so they’d shut up about being able to play minecraft with their friends.

The Switch came in #1 in something like 9 of the last 12 months. Switch was the #1 selling system in December, which most companies consider the most important metric (Sony lost to Microsoft that month as well). Sony only takes first by combining all SKUs, so the Slim, the Standard and the Pro. When it comes to a…
