Heres where I sit. If I paid money for something, then I should be able to do what I want to with it. I earned the money I spent on it. And yea, sure, maybe the manufacturer don't WANT you to do some stuff, and when it comes to some things, there is an argument to be made that not everyone knows what they are doing and so not everyone should be able to do some things, but,  at the end of the day, I can do what I want with it because I paid for it. I feel the same about software. The reason that I'm currently fighting with steam to get a refund on a few games that I recently lost access to because the studio ended support, is because I bought and paid for those games, I decide when I'm done with them, not the studio who made them. The fuck am I paying for, if they can just rip it away at any moment? <br><br>But alas, when it comes to software, the common argument is that if a game was designed for the NES and they don't make the NES hardware anymore, the software should fail to exist as well. My counter claim to that one is this: Emulators. And not just for hardware that don't exist, but also for hardware that you don't want or need. I'm a die hard Pokemon fan. I never had the want or need for a Switch, because honestly, the only games I care about on Nintendo are the Pokemon games. I dislike mario and zelda (yea, I know, burn me at the stake, I'm evil... XD sue me) and most of the games I would be interested in are on other platforms, so aside from the Pokemon games, there is no reason for me to buy a switch. After the way Sword and Shield was handled and the way in which nintendo completely fucked those games, I thought I'd be done with Pokemon. Then I heard about the Diamond and Pearl remakes. Now, personally, I believe that remakes are nothing more than corporate greed, and I have never supported them, even in the Pokemon games, so, I was meh. Then I heard about Legends Arceus and, well... I had to play it. I went to gamestop and picked up a physical copy of Legends Arceus, came home, loaded my emulator, and went and grabbed a ROM. They can't say I'm pirating it at that point, because I did buy a physical copy. I just don't have the right hardware, but since I bought the game, I should be able to play it on any platform I chose...
