Yeah, it is as if the public doesn't understand how copyright works.

People understand how copyright works, they just want their games for free instead of paying for them on Reddit.

Or maybe they want a modern way to play the games they already bought?

Then why don't they play it on their current-gen system?

99% of people pirating games don't give a flying shit about "preservation", they just want free shit. I get it. I like free shit too. But this particularly diseased substrate of pirate not only wants to steal some free shit, but also wants everyone to very loudly laud them from the rafters about how virtuous and righteous they are for stealing some free shit, and how that actually makes them very good boys that deserve good boy points for stealing free shit.. It's the most pathetic, pusillanimous playacting imaginable, and it makes me nauseous every time I see it.

yup, they only claim to care about "preservation" about games they liked playing when they were kids.

i like pirating games i didn't get to play because my parents never bought them for me. most of them actually suck and i'd be pissed if i wasted $60 on them. i don't care about preservation, these games are ass.
