The real issue is Nintendo not making old games available, that's basically abandonware. New games are accessible and it's not a good look trying to pirate them.

[domthebeast]

It’s also impossible to legally play most older Nintendo games

As a fellow pirate, I don’t justify why I pirate games and movies. Im not pirating cuz they are big studios and hav shit ton of money. I do because I hav no money and I wanna enjoy those too. So as Captain Jack said, Take what u can, give nothing back.

(P.S - Just pirated a Spider-man game from fitgirl too lol)

If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing

[MissingKhakis]

"You wouldnt steal someones car" correct but if i could clone it and have an exact copy of it while the other person still has their car absolutely.

[ilikechocolate]

We don't own the game.
They overcharge the game.
What are they expecting

[GodsLeastFavorite-vsxv]

Just don't get caught by Nintendo or you'll never be seen again

[crankenstien]

Bro took "if buying isn't owning, piracy isn't stealing" too literally💀🙏

[nice-zxds]

Nah dude is going to do a world record of getting sued for like money as quick as he can 😂

[okman]

If buying is not owning then Piracy is not stealing

[christianewing]

Piracy isn't theft, it's copyright infringement.

[gooseegg]

If they don't want me to pirate then maybe they should put their older games on modern consoles

[BigBear_Alex]

I dont think that buying games is noble but its the only thing that stops me from downloading tenth of games and then never finishing them😭

[invertedLOL]

Also the fact that many of Nintendo’s older games (especially Pokémon) don’t have an easily accessible way to play them nowadays, other than investing in an old console

[roguestar]

It doesn’t matter if there a multi billion dollar company it doesn’t matter
You’ll get the same sentence if you steal ten dollars from a homeless person or Elon musk

This is a great video, I am going to reupload it on a few platforms, thanks for the free content!

I'm kind of in the middle; I don't really believe in pirating games like that either, but perspective matters.

I like playing PS2 games, but a lot of them I can't play on an actual PlayStation console and my current PS2 isn't working right now — I don't really feel like getting on right now either, but maybe in the future I will. If I can create an ISO for a game I want to play, I'll just make it so I can avoid virus issues, but I do pirate some games because the PS2 is so old that getting games for it is a fucking nightmare. Either you can't find someone who has the game in a playable condition (as in the disk can still be read) or you find someone who has the game in a playable condition but it's expensive to get. I have a decent catalog of games I can make ISOs from so I'm mostly good, but there are some games I want to play that I don't have so I have to get the ISO from somewhere else. I also got the bios from somewhere else too as I couldn't really get it from my own system.

Considering that the PlayStation 2 is so old of a system and Sony isn't like Nintendo and doesn't care about the copyrights of PlayStation 2 that much (because the system is old and a lot of people aren't playing it like thar anymore), it's valid to do something like that for the PlayStation 2 and any system that is older.

As a Christian, I'm gonna tell to you this, avoid pirating, but if you do decide to pirate, try to find another way first — pirating should be your last resort, not your first option.

In my case, I'm playing games on an older system, getting those games physically on a disk is very hard and sometimes even impossible to get because the games need to be in a playable state and those games can be expensive to get, however I digress, stealing is still stealing and you should try to avoid it if you can. I used to pirate stuff a lot more when I was younger, and I regret doing. It's morally wrong, but it's also dangerous for those who aren't that tech-savvy (I wasn't that tech-savvy when I was younger and I learnt the hard way). Nowadays, I just buy things if I want it or find the an open-source alternative of it.

This applies to games as well — except for PS2 games, if I can't find a suitable DVD at a reasonable price or someone who has the game, I'll just get the ISO online, Sony doesn't care. So while I will say that it is wrong, I understand what the Nintendo Fans are going through.

if buying doesnt mean owning than piracy isnt stealing

[atherr]

personally, i wouldnt pirate games on a current console, but anything older is fair game

[Don]

Technically it is morally wrong but it is a multi hundred billionaire company
