@Hellburner918 The first thing you have to accept as a developer is that people are going to pirate your games/software but those people were very likely never going to buy it in the first place so from a logic standpoint you don't really care as a developer at the end of the day.

Also I can guarantee you the people who worked on those games aren't getting any money from those games anymore it's only the faceless huge corporation that gets money now.

The way I see it is human beings on average live to be about 75 in most countries, so by that logic 15 years seems to be a fair amount of time to make money off of a game, after that time if you're not providing a way that is easy for people to get any game that released in the past, that's tough ***** for you as a company or a developer (I am a developer FYI).

I think it's still possible that the transfer thing can be done it's not exactly hard to read a save file and take Pokemon from it. They can't take them from the modern games because there's been so many changes to Pokemon from gen 1 to now but they definitely could from an emulated version of the older games.

As with all transitional periods within an industry it will have negatives and positves until copyright laws are properly updated for the digital age.

Something else people need to understand is that because internet speeds are not consistent across the world and games are going to be hitting the Terabyte file size within this decade, there is possibly going to be another swing back towards a form of solid state physical game storage at some point. Now this still may not be the traditional style of physical games we have today, it could be that you purchase a game online and the company mails you a high capacity cartridge that is signed to your console so it cannot be re-sold but you would also have access to it digitally.
