General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

well nintendo killed two emulators this year, i guess they arent based in the us

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah sadly

 

[Chris]

I believe in the US it's a similar loophole as torrents. The emulator itself is legal, it's the Rom of copyrighted material you download to play that's illegal

 

[Chris]

And by extension the sites where you can download them lol

 

[Death By Looch]

That sounds about right

 

[Death By Looch]

But also fuck Nintendo

 

[Comrade Khan]

it all started because dipshits made patreons and took money for roms and emulator patches etv

 

[RDT]

I'm still sad about Vimm's Lair

 

[Comrade Khan]

motherfuckers flew way too close to the goddamned sun

 

[Comrade Khan]

ruined it for everyone

 

[Comrade Khan]

if no one was profiting nintendo would have never caught wind

 

[Comrade Khan]

or and blasting it all over steam too

 

[Comrade Khan]

people dont know how to be stealth about this shit no more ig

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Yeah no kidding.

 

[Death By Looch]

Nah... Nintendo was after ROM sites even before crowdfunding sites (or Patreon) became this huge market
