So did they run a discord server where people shared ROMs or not? That alone is enough of a woopsie.


They did, but indirectly by tolerating it, and some files are even still online: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39596261


I mean if you’re in the emulator grey area, you can position yourself as righteously enabling people who have purchased the games, or you can position yourself as a way to play the games without paying.

Anything less than a zero tolerance policy for ROM trading on the corporate discord server is pretty much a declaration of the latter.
