It's literally nintendo's rightful property. they paid developers to make these games from the ground up and marketed them and produced them, and the developers worked day and night to make sure it was enjoyable and fun and operational. Just because 20 years has passed since the game's release doesn't mean that they just lose the rights to that property. They can do with it what they please whether it be make a remake or take all sources of it off of existence. It belongs to them and you're only as entitled to own a copy of that content as nintendo allows you to be.

Please, tell me how you dump cartridge's rom. If you're so in tune with all this, you should know how that works, and why the "just take it from your legal copy" argument is handicapped.
More to the point, taking down romhacks is even worse, because the hacks don't even violate copyright so long as they are in their patch form.

And no matter how many times angry fanboys scream in the youtube comments otherwise, Emulation is legal.

Emulation is legal but the roms themselves are illegal. Romhacks are basically just pre compiled bullstuff that uses the rom's hooks to add content to it, so it contains fragments of the rom in it obviously, making that romhack partially nintendo's property. Just because you harvest it from a legitimate copy and distribute it doesn't mean it's suddenly void of copyright. Replication of a product means you're just creating a copy of the product and it's still illegal

That maybe true for the classics like Super Mario World and Banjo Kazooie, etc, but what about the games that AREN'T being sold ANYWHERE!?
Sorry, but they aren't selling EVERY old game ANYWHERE, hell the Nintendo Switch doesn't even loving have a Virtual Console. Some Games that fall under those previous categories, if you can find them, can cost upwards of 200, 300 bucks sometimes more.

Sorry if you think that's reasonable because in some alternate universe, there is a Switch Virtual Console that Sells Clay Fighters Director's Cut, and Nintendo is losing money.

if there are literally no copies in existence then i guess its slightly justifiable, but its infinitely more justifiable and legal for a company to sue people for giving out unauthorized digital copies of their own content. The justification of nintendo's action far outweighs the justification of using an emulator to play a game that doesn't exist so the entire argument is moot in the end.

i think its more about being able to play games that as far as public consumption goes: arent playable otherwise because either the company that made it doesn't exist anymore or there are incredibly scarce copies that run in hundreds of dollars that these developers will never see anyways. its not just nintendo games

People who supports these actions like, for example, drydess and thegoodperry are all belonging to the first class, that is, they suck their parents wallet and their parent, in return, don't care.

They are completely out of their minds

child i work 45 hours a week and i exchange my money for goods because im a loving adult. im not into all this loving emulating and pirating bullstuff. even if the game is 20 years old you're still taking a good without paying for it and that loving hurts the company because you could be spending that on a remake of that product or a reboot or some stuff. just saying "oh its too old they dont make money anymore" is loving handicapped and anyone with that mindset understands nothing about economics

Hey kid, do you realize from where the influence of the developers who make your games that you buy with your dad credit card comes from?

where are you getting this notion that i use my parents money? do you want me to recite my w4 form for you? take a picture of my weekly paystub or show you the pictures of my various direct deposits of 400 dollars that i get every week because i loving work?

I hope you are trolling for your sake

nope I'm dead serious. I demand free copies of all games in the world. Who cares that people worked for years on these games and I'm depriving them of money and making their hard work in vain- I'm entitled to free content because this is the internet and my first amendment rights say I can download other people's things for free

This is clearly nintemdo censoring

General Discussion / Re: Token Boss Battles (Advanced/Preset classes against the Boss)

« on: August 10, 2018, 07:17:03 PM »

The boss battles meta revolves around the density of humans attacking the boss at a given time. The boss' goal is to run away from a horde of humans and try to split them into groups to pick off one by one where they are less likely to take damage. Since the boss is one man, the quantity of humans attacking the boss at a time scales inversely with the boss' success. This is a good place to stick life mechanics into. A great usage of this meta is to give bonuses to players who attack the boss by themselves or in smaller groups. Since it's already super dangerous to 1v1 the boss giving some kind of life credit for making such a dangerous move seems like a natural mechanic. It also means bosses have to decide between attacking a large group of players in order to inflict permanent damage versus attacking a small group of players in order to minimize the amount of damage the boss takes, rather than the current optimal strategy of choosing the latter

In my head I imagine a solo sniper caught off guard by the boss while the teammates are far away. Instead of running and dying because that's what normally happens, maybe the lone sniper gets a boost or upgrade or maybe the amount of damage they deal isolated contributes to a revival skill in the form of a shorter respawn time
