213d ago This is the issue I feel too. There is 1000s of games and over 40+ years of gaming history that has been archived in these files and they are all lost. It's a real shame because at a certain point you can't just Square Enix-it and keep charging for your old ass games. At a point they all need to be released to the world, like old films, poems, books, etc. I am 100% against pirating games, but preservation of history is not this. Gaming history should be shared and admired. I would love to see a database somewhere that we can access.

213d ago This is a real shame, especially because it is the greedy actions of one that's creating this domino effect. Emuparadise held all sorts of ROM's of now defunct consoles (as in no longer in production) and whose game sales do not benefit the developers anymore. Whatever format you currently have your original games on will not last forever, hell, the former gen consoles we love, won't last forever. Sites like these keep those games intact. What are we to do now? Hunt these rom sites before they go down and dld all the games we need into a hard drive? Torrents die and aren't always reliable.

It is sad to see such hard work wiped by such greed. I don't know that all the games hosted there will ever be re-released and some of them are almost impossible to find or purchase bc their cost have gone exorbitantly up. These old games should become public domain after a while if no one claims their copyright. 214d ago This is a disaster.Sometimes I don't want to bust out my older consoles just to play a game. I find playing older games on an emulator so much easier and accessible to play on.

I know it wasn't legal to host those games but still, I made me reminisce on some games I used to play. I can see that most of the illegal way to attain games and other sources of entertainment were been disappearing from the internet. If those publishers want me to buy their older classic game which should give it a reasonable price. For example, I refuse to pay £11.99 for Chrono trigger on steam. 213d ago 'If EA, Konami or Activision did something like this people like you would join the band wagon' It's illegal to download ROMs/ISOs, so.

If EA, Konami or Activision did the same thing, I would be in support of them shutting people down who are breaking the law, too. 'These are old games. That are no longer being sold' You can find them all over the place - stores that sell retro games, flea markets, thrift stores, etc. That many people missed because they were not born in time to play.' That's not really the fault of the game companies, nor does that justify theft. 'So now they have to go buy a useless switch or something and pay for 20-30 year old games?

That's pretty petty.' It's petty to think you can just steal from people simply because the game is 20-30 years old. Original descrstrat file medieval 2 total war. 213d ago “It is only illegal to download a digital free version of an item if said item can still be obtained through the proper channels.“ No. It is illegal to distribute/download ROMs/ISOs. “Many of the NES and SNES games are no longer in production anywhere at all.” So what. If you search hard enough, there are venues where these games (even the increasingly rare ones) can still be legally purchased.

This goes beyond just upholding the law as Nin is attacking these sites for titles they both do and do not own.” how is it going beyond upholding the law when those sites are guilty of breaking the law? They aren’t doing anything that they’re not legally able to do by being representatives of smaller studios or ones that aren’t even around anymore. It's not about who gets a cut of the money. They're making efforts to shutting these things down because it's illegal. Plain, and simple. Most of you here really don't understand ownership rights. A game that is no longer in production doesn't mean the content creator no longer has ownership rights over the IP.

Emuparadise

A studio or publisher not receiving any money from the sale of their old game in the used game market doesn't mean that you can just steal it by downloading a ROM/ISO. And those 'greedy gamers' selling that $500 copy of a rare, old game legally paid for that game, and are selling it based on the perceived market value. Nice strawman, though.

213d ago You really don’t get it, do you? This is about preservation and inclusion and these sites are around because the owners of the software don’t give enough of a toss to redistribute them and keep the market prices from being ridiculously inflated like they are. Are we supposed to let these works fade into obscurity because we can’t afford $1000 for that niche game from 20 years ago? If the law doesn’t protect everyone’s rights then the system is broken.

It is a producer’s obligation to support their customers just as much as it is their right to protect their products. I bought a license for their media, and if my media breaks over time then i demand the ability to purchase another copy for my system of choice, if not? I’m looking to those who are looking out for me, and i will wave a big middle finger at the producer until they give me what i want.
