I operate under this as a guideline. If the game can't be bought anymore in a way where money gets to the devs then (you can always get random box copy's from eBay or some such) then it's OK to use an emulator.
- astura 9y agoYou're confusing (pirated) ROMs with "emulators." There are emulator products that you can only play with original games (such as bleem!) and/or ROMs provided by the publisher (such as Nintendo's eStore) The devs at mainstream game studios are salaried, they've already been paid for their work performed no matter if the game sells or not. If the game is never released (which happens) they still get a paycheck.
- throwawayaway12 9y agoWhile this is true, I would imagine that sales figures affect the future of devs at the game studios (layoffs, new projects, etc).
- OptionX 9y agoI know the difference, just stating my stance in this matter. Besides Yuzu can't even be used like that in it's current state, and like has been said if a game doesn't sell during its shelf life it doesn't bode well to any of the makers. It's enough to kill medium/small studios and entire IP's.
