In a move that has once again sparked backlash within the gaming community, Sony now seems to be placing advisory stickers on PlayStation 5 consoles, warning players that physical games will soon be discontinued.
I feel the same way you do. I’m okay with digital purchases on Steam because it’s basically a catalog of receipts I can point at if I eventually have to pirate something I bought, but I don’t have that option on a console. Well, I do, but it’s a huge hassle.
Yeah…that’s not how copyright works. Just because you bought the game, doesn’t mean pirating isn’t still illegal. If they’re going to catch you, that steam purchase means nothing.
That being said, I pirate all the time, because fuck 'em!
Unless it’s a super small indy team that would actually be hurt by my pirating. Them I’ll support. But Nintendo can fuck off with that anti-rom behavior. I don’t need to pay Nintendo continuously to play Super Mario World. I feel no pity or shame in pirating a game like that. That whole thing goes back to my whole previously mentioned policy on “fuck 'em!”.
