An example I have in mind is Piko Interactive, infamously known for their anti-consumer and anti-preservation practices. Hoist the seven seas with us as we pirate them broken shit from them and other big name game companies because the U.S. copyright system be fucked, man!
"Set the sails! Hoist'em up, ya bilge rats!
Bring us broadside! Swing us back around!
Ah! See those sober sailors, Sammy?
Sammy, Captain? Sing with me a shanty!
Aye Aye!"
It’s the don’t have appropriate safeguards that makes me laugh. Well so they are going to full on support piracy. Do they not get that this does protect them. Also what are they doing with a game they don’t or won’t sell?
Hoarding them because games are nothing but product and ip to be collected and extorted. Honestly I don’t think it is ever about the money that’s just the excuse they use as justification to maintain control. The copyright system has long since stopped doing what it was supposed to do
“I know we don’t ever want to rerelease this but we’re going to sue any kid that wants to play it without buying a cartridge that you can only get for $1000 goddamnit”
it would be a shame if we were able to use websites that start with 'C' and end with 'Dromance', starts with 'e' and ends with 'dgeemu', or starts with 'w' and ends with 'owroms' too...~
