Moved the thread to general discussion, remember about rule 8 guys! But being real with you, though, copyright laws are weird area of legality in current times because of how the legal system prioritizes companies first, BUT I personally don't approve of piracy mainly because if you like a product, you should always support the company first and NOT yourself, I also believe if you invest in a product and it plays out really well, that satisfaction would be higher if you legally acquire it. You also add, if you hate a product or a company behind it, there's always not giving it attention, which is 100% more impactful than piracy.

About your opinion, I both agree and disagree, I mostly agree about supporting the companies and the satisfaction of finally acquiring the game and having a good time. But, I kinda disagree with the "support company first and not yourself", and which I say: Not many people can't afford to buy the games. Some people, who lives in countries with a mass inflation (such as me) can't afford the games, and the only way to play them is from piracy. Also, I believe that, if people really like the game, they gonna buy the game sometime.

Depends on the situation. If there's a good version of an old game on a modern console that's just as good or better than the original, then yeah I'll buy it. But if the port sucks or if the games aren't made available (*cough cough* Nintendo *cough cough*), then I don't feel guilty about pirating it or dumping an old copy that I have.

^ Yeah, basically this. It is the most sensible answer. Some games just don't get any chance of a re-release, and if someone wants to play that game they really shouldn't avoid pirating it. What if you wanted to check out Knuckles' Chaotix? Sega doesn't seem to be planning to re-release this game to modern platforms anytime soon, so you are left with a few options.
You can either throw your money into the wind buying a Genesis, a 32x and the game cartridge, or you could get the ROM and an emulator in the internet for free in 5 minutes. If you're a video game collector, it's understandable why you would pick the first option. But otherwise, I don't see why you would do this.

Agreed, sonic 1, 2 and 3 can't be available nor can some games be, you aren't pretty much guilty for pirating an 32+ year old game that can't basically be there anymore. Well, some people are really poor and also a bit dumb to do the legal version but that's basically okay I guess

Piracy is fuckin' awesome alright. I will always support indie games, to the point of buying a game multiple times on multiple platforms. But if it's like SEGA? Adobe? Billion dollar companies with no sympathy and more likely than not pay their employees like dog water? Who only care about making more money instead of making good products? I'm pirating that shit I don't care.
Fuck SEGA in particular by the way. Not only do they treat their developers like ass, but because of that, everything that's come out of them for who knows how long is always mediocre at best. It's always happened. Even back in the the day. Just look at Sonic Xtreme's development. Same thing. Point is, I have pirated from SEGA and I will pirate from SEGA again. Fuck SEGA.

Although you are right about one thing: not everything SEGA puts out is bad. In fact, really no other SEGA franchise gets treated this poorly other than Sonic, which is ass backwards considering how Sonic's their damn mascot. Sonic Team has been repeatedly screwed over pretty much since its inception for really no reason. It's a big reason why Sonic has been consistently mediocre pretty much since Heroes. And like I said, even before then, they were rushed to hell and back, but a change of people within the team who didn't really know Sonic just amplified the problem. They have never been given the proper time to flesh one single game out to its fullest potential.
I do suppose I was quite passionate and vulgar in my previous post, so here's my more level-headed opinion on the matter: piracy is usually good. Near essential even, especially when it comes to, like, college textbooks and whatnot. Of course, support the developers you want to see succeed if you have the means to, but honestly, if it's a big million/billion-dollar company, there's really less of an incentive to. I don't pirate games regularly, mostly because I have to jump a lot of hoops to do so and I don't buy a lot of big games anyway, but it's not like a big company will lose a ton of money from a few people pirating their game. I just don't see it as a big deal, honestly.
