It´s no surprise really, such practice will exist as long as people will continue to blindly support this business model stocking on “nostalgia” and accept to pay for emulators “because it’s convenient”.

People should realize what kind of scummy business practice they are encouraging: neither original game developpers or emulator developpers get any money from this, those “company” … and apple/google through fees… are making full margin on everyones back here.se it’s convenient”

Theres a lot more info about whats happened here:

Essentially elite is involved commercial piracy, including royalties for charity. Most the devs dont care about the ‘peanuts’ they would be paid. Its more about principal. If you pirate it, so be it. If you buy it, you want to support the developer, not pay another pirate.

I would say the war is hardly won, and I shall see you on the intellectual battlefield once again, sir.

By supposedly failing to prove it, that would just make you not a hypocrite.

While you may have won the battle, I won the war (proved you can be locked up for file-sharing (HK).

Key word there: ‘considered’. Consideration != law, especially (once again) criminal law.

I consider ~~you~~ bob for a buffoon. That doesn’t mean I’m right.

And don’t blur the subject. We’re talking about file-sharing, not advertising, or donations, or any other monetary gain.

Since taking donations is considered commercial piracy which is a crime in many countries…

“File-sharing is a crime in a lot of countries.”

Which you failed to prove.

Anything that only takes a week to create probably is not worth copyrighting!!!! You have supplied an invalid scenario. Basically what you are saying is because you have not/can not create something to be paid for then no one else should? Amazing logic you have there buddy.

The only reason this is continuing is because you haven’t realised you’re wrong yet.
