yes it is. what they’re doing is shitty, not illegal.

"Hey don’t use emulators to play our games we’re gonna sue you.

… and then just take that emulator software you made and sell it in our official devices. but still fuck you."

not illegal. just giant assholes with no sense of self-awareness.

in the past they have. i should have specified. i have no idea what they’re doing in their museums. but considering their history, I wouldn’t discount it.

files they’ve downloaded off the internet. its much easier for them and they only need to do a quick frontend to make it look official.

ezpz.

the “implication?” they’ve literally already sold consoles that have downloaded roms on them.

because they’re using the work of others for their own profits.

that’s so scummy. way to get users to shrug and watch it on a pirate site instead. if that was their goal, they’ve done well!

doing a search just now, I saw two pop up. super functional as well.

these fellas ain’t too bright. let’s continue to allow them to think they are.

this is depressing. i hope i can find an alternative, but it likely won’t be as amazing in scope or in website design/functionality.

=(

the bottom one is just straight up Greendale.

the 3 butthole symbol is really bad. fediverse already has a symbol.

stop using the anuses.

I was sorta with you until the “Clueless Downvoters Wall of Shame” bit at the end.

You can ask people to try and think about their voting behavior, but that’s just a bit weird and obsessive.

what is ironic is there’s a version of 19 that easily allows the transfer of all your stuff from one instance to another. upgrading could help lighten their load and not have so much overloading traffic and downtime.

I was hoping someone else would mention it. It’s quite cool.

I originally wanted to join tildes, but I never could get an invite. so I just kinda abandoned it and moved to lemmy instead.

they seem to go more with a walled garden approach and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with that kind of environment. but I’m sure it works well for those who participate.
