    yes it is. what they’re doing is shitty, not illegal.

    "Hey don’t use emulators to play our games we’re gonna sue you.

    and then just take that emulator software you made and sell it in our official devices. but still fuck you."

    not illegal. just giant assholes with no sense of self-awareness.

      They’ve never sued anyone for playing an emulated game. They have (most likely wrongly) threatened emulator developers over circumventing copyright and encryption. I don’t like it anymore than anybody else, but are we actually mad at a company for preserving their games? You can hate them for what they are doing to others while still being ok with their own emulation
