most people using emulators are those who grew up owning consoles anyway.
About piracy, when I think about it, piracy is big part of my computer childhood, otherwise, I wouldn't afford to do anything with computers.
- libertine 5y agoHonestly that's my take on it: piracy is a matter of accessibility. As a marketer, I can even see the benefits of "free distribution of content" to people that wouldn't buy it anyway, and you're still building your brand on those people - they will, eventually down the line, buy your IP if they had good experiences with it. I became a GTA fan thanks to it, and to modding, when started to be able to afford games I bought into the series. If I haven't developed the emotional relationship with the game, nowadays I wouldn't care less about it.
