You're not supporting the company that produced the game, and you no longer have the excuse of "it's an old game that they're not profiting from anymore."But they're just rehashing an old game. I don't really see how they deserve the money that badly.They're not just rehashing an old game. They're putting it on a modern device with newer and more reliable technology that's less likely to fail on you. The games I'm talking about are so old, they were on these big cartridges that had little batteries inside of them that are only designed to last a few years before they burn out. Once it burns out, you can no longer save your game anymore and it's basically just worthless.Replacing these batteries is expensive and dangerous, because it requires you to know how to use a soldering iron if you want to do the job right, and even if you still have a working battery, it's gonna die again eventually and there's no way to transfer your Pokémon to newer generations like you can with every subsequent game. Gold/Silver were the only generation of Pokémon games up until now that didn't let you do that, because there wasn't a way to connect a Game Boy to a Game Boy Advance.Re-releasing the games on 3DS solves all of these problems.They're also only $10 and if you can't spare that much for such an excellent game, you're really just a pathetic waste of skin.So after paying for the game and being boned by substandard technology, you're gonna buy it again? Why not emulate it?Not "substandard" technology, outdated technology.Because it's a fucking amazing game that Game Freak deserves billions of dollars for making.I'd buy both versions 30 more times.I don't emulate games ever because I'm not a piece of shit.Seems like a lot of fanboying tbb. It's substandard technology to have it run on batteries that aren't easily replaceable.

Quote from: Turkey on September 26, 2017, 04:45:10 PMThe paper states there's a 40% loss in sales for blockbuster films...that's pretty fucking huge, and arguably a source of cinema as a dying medium bloated with massive budgets for shitty reboots/sequels/licensed films, with ticket costs doubling in the past two decades. I really just struggle to see how you can look at any pirating community, where a typical member has hundreds or thousands of pirated films, games, albums, etc., and not come to the conclusion that sales were lost from those downloads. This isn't a case of someone not purchasing luxury goods outside of their disposable income -- media like this is literally designed to be widely marketable, even to poor people. I don't see how shitty reboots and sequels have anything to with piracy. I also don't see how $20 a ticket is widely marketable "even to poor people".
