There is a reason why they are all pushing for legislation to make emulation more illegal, DRM to the point where you don't get to have "options" around it, and numerous other anti-consumer things.
They refuse to become good enough to prevent piracy, so instead they will use the government and fear to keep you from even considering it.
They were good enough to prevent or at least mitigate piracy. They've backslid to such an extent that piracy starts looking tasty again. Fucking incompetents.
The only form of piracy I really engage in is emulation, simply because the effort and absurd prices of older stuff is well beyond what I can justify on any budget.
Anything else I'm far more likely to just not play at all, because if its pissed me off enough to pirate then I don't even want to give them the word of mouth acknowledgement by engaging with it.
