I don't care if you have old Sega/Nintendo ROMs from 20+ years ago. Especially if they're not released on new hardware or whatever. That's harmless. But when you do the "found a torrent for Resident Evil 8" shit... that's immoral

In a world without demos even though it should be easier than ever to put them out I want to make informed decisions, especially on PC.

I think time travel is only immoral if you do something that alters the future.

Agreed. You can pirate abandonware from over a decade ago all you want, but if you want to play new/recent games, then buy them legit.

Spoken like someone that didn't grow up with early cartage games. Back then you only had the back of the box to tell you if a game is good or not. Buy something that isn't as good as it looks? You're out $60+ and have to try a different game next time you have money.

Sure, you could rent a game first. But that's still $10 to see if you actually want to buy it. Nowadays it's a lot easier to see if a game is good first, reviews and let's play videos are everywhere.

The ones I used back then were Video View and Blockbuster. That was the going rental price for SNES and Genesis games back then. Mostly because they only let you rent them for a minimum of 3 days at a time back then. So it was $10 for 3 days.

You shouldn't pirate any games, even if they're 20+ years old and out of production. If the makers of the game don't want to sell it anymore then tough shit. You don't get to decide to steal something just because they're not using that product anymore...

Oh look RebelElite shows his face once again to try and burn me. A tactic as old as time that always ends in pitiful failure. Go back to the drawing board, kid. Your weak shit is old news.

it's still immoral to pirate 20 year old sega games even if they're not released on new hardware

you're not entitled to steal something just because the owner chooses not to sell it

I was talking about almost 30 years ago, in the early 90s. Maybe they got cheaper later?
