That's funny, I remember linking that in #nobodysworld (Available on irc.deltaanime.net) a little over a year ago.

Your source indeed!

I can't wait to have skid marks on my soul.

The funny thing is... The guy is still right...

If you copy games (ROMs don't count since old games are becoming collectable antiques), the people who make them have less money to make more games. It's fundamental, but some people don't seem to understand fundamental principles...

Hmm, are you sure? I'm going to consult an economics textbook.
To be clear, you're claiming that people don't get money when you steal from them?

Oh, except ROMs, because no one makes money off old games anymore, except for those major game companies that are still selling them

People have been copying games since the dawn of, well, games. This was decades ago.



Oh hey, we still have games. Great ones too so it's not an issue of quality.


But what if you're right? What if Microsoft runs out of money because of bootleggers and we have no Halo IV? It's a distinct possibility.
