They are A-okay unless they try to profit from it.I really would like to know this thread's opinion on fangames like AM2R
If piracy=stealing is not an opinionated matter, then why are there multiple people on both sides? Dumbing down my stance to milk = water is once again, condescending."Piracy = stealing" is not an opinionated matter, it's objectively wrong to say they are the same thing.
This is like saying "milk and water are the same thing, don't tell me I'm wrong, it's my opinion man!".
Except I didn't make any. It's not an assumption to say that I have pirated games that I then went on to buy in the future, or continued to buy the future installments in that series. It's not an assumption for me to say that I know there are plenty of other people who do, when I know plenty of people who have, both in my personal life and online. Shishœ literally said that was the case for them right after I made my point, too.
This is an assumption. You're saying more often than not, but did not back it up with numbers, and proceeded to tell me what I said was worthless, because I didn't back it up with numbers.It has the potential to happen but more often than not, if a person pirates a game, they go on to buy it or at the very least, future installments in the series or other games by the company.
This is the only assumption I've made, correct me if I'm wrong. And this isn't even an assumption; I put "likely" in there, meaning that it's possible, but could be wrong, as pirating attracts a lot of people; there's the people who want to try the game, and buy later, and the people who want to just get the game for free. Both groups are sizeable, but considering the nature of privacy, it's entirely in the realm of possibility that the second group outweighs the first (especially if people in the first group move from "buy" to "not buy").The number of people pirating without buying is likely at least equal to the number who pirate and buy.
Nintendo smacked emuparadise with that lawsuit and is claiming a bazillion dollars in damages, so emuparadise preemptively just took down a lot of their roms.Why is there an argument about emulation and pirates going on anyway? Something recently happen relating to it?
I really hope palutenas guidance is back and we get Chrom taking **** to Virdi about how things can changeThis is why Viridi will never Smash.

Nah.I dunno, why are we still on this planet?
I should move to Mars or something.
Yeah, exactly. That's why I think going just on one side on this is a bit of a joke.All right. Here is how I see it.
Nintendo has the right to sue these ROM stuff. It is their property being given to others freely. While the price sounds high, I agree that the ROM people deserve some kind of justice.
The problem is, if Nintendo wants to tackle down pirating, than they need to find a better way to give us access to these older games.
PIT: Whoah, the Ike clone from last time really got in!
CHROM: You're right I did! I got my chance another day!
VIRIDI: Really!?! What? Why you? I thought we established you were literally a clone!!
PALUTENA: Hold up Virdi, Hold up Chrom. You're one of those "Echo Fighters", aren't you?
PIT: An "Echo" what?
VIRIDI: What?
PALUTENA: In this installment of Smash Bros., some characters are taking on the moveset of other characters and joining the fray. These fighters are known as "Echo Fighters" because of their similarities to another character on the roster.
PIT: Uh... Palutena... you just CRASHED into the fourth wall!!!
PALUTENA: I don't know what you're talking about, Pit...
VIRIDI: Anyways, it turned out to be true! You're STILL a clone! You didn't even get your own chance.... you got Ike's!
CHROM: Hey! It's still better than what you managed to get!
VIRIDI: You little-!
VIRIDI: Well, I'd rather have this role as a commentator over than have a role as essentially a whole other character. My moveset would be better than all of yours, COMBINED! I'm just too good for this!
PIT: Hey, if he's just Ike... then his weaknesses are Ike's too, right?
PALUTENA: Yes. "Echo Fighters" share weaknesses and strengths with their counterparts.
PIT: Oh, this should be easy then!
PALUTENA: Watch out, though. "Echo Fighters" have a few adjustments. In Chrom's case, instead of the ferocious fires Ike starts, Chrom can wield the power of thunder.
VIRIDI: Lame!!!! I'm the Goddess of Nature, that's gonna do nothing to me!
CHROM: You wouldn't have that same mindset if you got out of your box and fought!
VIRIDI: Yes, I would! I would just send your thunder attacks RIGHT BACK at you! Gods, just because you cloned Ike's moveset didn't mean you had to clone his brain! How'd Robin, the tactician, even get paired up with YOU?
PALUTENA: Viridi, enough. I think it's time we see who wins this fight: Ike Two.... or Pit One...
PIT: Oh, you did NOT just go there!
Because the people saying they are the same thing are being purposefully ignorant and obtuse.If piracy=stealing is not an opinionated matter, then why are there multiple people on both sides?
It's not an assumption because the success of many games, including some of Nintendo's own games, can be attributed to piracy.This is an assumption. You're saying more often than not, but did not back it up with numbers, and proceeded to tell me what I said was worthless, because I didn't back it up with numbers.
thats my question as wellWow.
We're still at this.
Why are we still at this.
I still think those two being in is a dream.I still can't realize that we live in a world where Ridley & King.K.Rool are actually going to be playable character in a Smash game.

I really want this argument to be over already but this is such a stupid counter-argument when we live in a planet where there are people who legit think it's spherical.If piracy=stealing is not an opinionated matter, then why are there multiple people on both sides?
I think Isaac and especially Geno would be the only characters that could surpass our duo of reptiles in term of "WTF, THEY ACTUALLY DID IT?!!?" scale.I still think those two being in is a dream.
I'm very curious how Sakurai is going to top that when we got two of THE most requested characters in nearly 20 years and then some while we're still 4 months away.
Ridley + King K. Rool + Simon + Cloud + Bayonetta + Ryu + Mega Man + SnakeI still can't realize that we live in a world where Ridley & King.K.Rool are actually going to be playable character in a Smash game.

I wasn't going to respond any further anyways but that's not stupid at all. I was saying that a strong argument can be made for both sides. There's nothing that factually disproves one side.I really want this argument to be over already but this is such a stupid counter-argument when we live in a planet where there are people who legit think it's spherical.
All we need now is Geno and the Impossible Trio will finally become a reality.I still can't realize that we live in a world where Ridley & King.K.Rool are actually going to be playable character in a Smash game.

Merges, from top to bottom, are: +6, +6, +4, and +6.
There's a couple things I'd like to improve, but my big goal so far has been to raise everyone to +10. So while I have ideas, and despite some suboptimal current options, team's been mostly static for awhile now.
feel like your missing earth-chan in there lolRevisionism.

This has nothing to do with your immortality.What part of "I'm immortal" are you not getting?
Their cool.I really would like to know this thread's opinion on fangames like AM2R
The Earth is a ball, its misshapen piece of rock, that we need to stop killing. :vI really want this argument to be over already but this is such a stupid counter-argument when we live in a planet where there are people who legit think it's spherical.
Well, thank you.This has nothing to do with your immortality.
You wanted to start chaos, then run away from it, so I brought it to you. :V
