Have you ever wondered that? Often you see a new game, and yes, it is very expensive. Think about all the blood sweat and tears the development team put in it so you can have fun with it, now, doesnt that deserve some of your money? YES!
See, this is the only way for the industry to prosper: They make the game, you like the game, you buy the game and they profit from your puchase. Piracy is wrong and really harms the industry of gaming.
However when you cant always have all your games as original... some may say you are a pirate and thief. For the sake of this discussion however lets take a look at the link for:
This Game
This NES game has an interesting price... Right? Bet its a great game to get that price tag on all of its copies.
Still it is a lot of dough .. quite a few rolls of green. Perhaps it is a good game.But how much of that money will go to the creator of the game? Nothing .. this game has so many years and besides its used. The company that made that game will not receive a penny so not only are you not supporting the industry buying this, but you are spending an exorbitant amount and the cart might not even work properly. Then, Is it worth it?
Obviously NO! It is a freaking game for the NES for heaven's sake ...
But .. What if you could play it?
Emulation has not only kept alive many old games but may even enhance their visual and sound quality.
Besides the fact that is not just for one NES its for any game. You will not find any new sealed copies of this in a store and even if you did it is safe to assume the purchase will not generate a profit to either publisher or developer.
What's more convenient to do in this case?
Get it by other means, the Internet has resources and there are people who do this as a service or for free in their spare time, coding and testing and so on. They will not be selling games will help you get the rom iso or whatever format of data you need if you have tennacity to look for them,
Now if you do not think this is something legitimate, you can search for the term
Abandonware
And think ... Can you consider Abandonware something that not only is no longer updated frequently but also the very company stopped making years ago? Even copyright expires. Therefore I can not just say that I consider myself a hacker or thief, just a lover of nostalgia who is recursive and eager to learn from the games before. In the past lies the answer for more and better games in the future and can not innovate without the foundations on which to build.
Now as my final thoughts:
For you that pirate games: Please dont pirate them.. at least not on any current gen, buy or if the game's quality seems shady... rent it first. Not only will you be protecting yourself from the game companies' wrath, you will also be helping by chipping in with your purchase to a future game's development. AND you will get a game from that and a clean conscience. How cool is that?
For you that like to collect pieces of Nostalgia: Please dont do things like that... your money will be better spent by kickstarting project or if you have money invest in your fave game company or studio. You will not only get perks... you may even get profits and games.
And for you that respects and undertands my opinion, thank you.
If I seemed an interesting topic and give comments like.
