I pay for all the games I play, sometimes going way out of my way to do so (obscure japaese studios who don't sell outside), but I will never pay a company that attacks my rights. I say that as an x-nintindo superfan who owned every generation and 100s of games up until the wii when I learned of nintendo's outright delusional takes on reality and there abuse and misuse of laws and the legal system.

You are free to also delude yourself and call it piracy and "stealing" all you want, but emulation and playing ripped games absolutely is - and will hopefully remain - your right.

(i buy used games and use yuzu to play them. fuck nintendo.)
