Message: <blockquote data-quote="subtledemise" data-source="post: 694">Who is hurt by this "illegal warez" site? The only entity losing money from those old games being available to download is second-hand resellers (aka scalpers and wannabe speculative investors). Those are the people that made buying "legal" copies of these games prohibitively expensive in the first place, so I see no reason for these romhackers to be so uptight about it, unless they also have some stake in the retro games speculative market.On semi-related tangent, it's also really irritating how the rightsholders are doing their damnedest to try to keep people from playing these games by any means necessary. They refuse to sell them, but they won't let people obtain them any other way. Seems like a waste of resources that could be better spent on protecting assets they're actually profiting from. The whole industry is due for a crash either way, and I'm happy for that.</blockquote>
