@GTHOLLAND Dude it's not like I don't wanna pay for it, but those albums, games etc aren't MARKETABLE anymore and don't even trying telling me buying a 300 euro cartridge from an ebay scalperi counts as "buying" ir. The creator of the original piece won't make any money and on top of all that I'll be getting a defective product cause of how old it is. I am super ok buying my games, movies albums in a new format(blue ray, new console etc) if the creator/developer is the one selling,i am not gonna spend thousand of dollars on a product that's not even worth the price that is selling for. I mean for instance how was i supposed to play a japanese only game such as shin megami tensei on snes, without it being patched in English as a rom. When i buy from an ebay seller i am not paying for someone's work, i am just paying a reseller for an overpriced hunk of plastic,that could possibly not even work
@GTHOLLAND couldn't disagree more as an 18 year old i love my nes, snes and old pc games,.Games are like movies or books a piece of entertainment that maybe just a trend of its time or timeless. For instance i recently watched a silent film called dantes inferno which was available through youtube. For me it is a timeless film just like some nes,snes games are. Entertainment either being books, movies, games should be preserved so people can experience them. And i am not talking about museums preserving hardware or that kind of stuff, i am talking being able to simply search up the name and being able to download them as files
Honestly I'm more worried about the hardware that those games are played on rather than the games themselves. Because lets be real in this day and age game preservation is quite easy and is bound to happen time and time again while consoles such as the nintendo ds/3ds, wii etc because of their unique designs would be difficult to play their library of games on emulators or other systems

@GTHOLLAND games that are over 30-40 years old that aren't even marketable or re released for current times doesn't seem like stealing
