This, along with "I support emulation, but piracy of currently available games is NEVER acceptable" are just some of the baffling finger-wagging takes I've seen about the Yuzu case on places that are not Hexbear. I don't mean people who are simply stating facts about the current landscape of copyright law and how it shakes out for ROMs and emulation, but the ones who actually take personal offense at piracy.

I just don't understand where these earnest copyright respecters are coming from. If someone told you they've pirated all the Marios, from the out-of-print ones to the one with the elephants, or the hottest current streaming show, a normal human being's response to it should be a shrug of the shoulders. It doesn't fucking matter

Then some of these clowns go on to blame pirates for the current rounds of video game industry layoffs internet-delenda-est

Communists make hella stuff, second only maybe to anarchists. They don't know what they're talking about.
