If you want to play a game, pay for it like everyone else, and don’t be a dick by finding alternate and unfair ways to get your hands on it.īut considering emulators aren’t illegal per se, Nintendo probably won’t be able to do much about it, unfortunately.īut yea, everyone’s free to do what they want I suppose, so who am I to judge, haha. But making/supporting an emulation of a new game, let alone one that came out less than a month ago, is kind of ridiculous to me, and I think it’s disrespectful towards all the people that worked on it, and also those who actually bought the game with their hard-earned money.
I am not against emulators by any means, because, as you’ve said, they’re a great way of preserving old games that are not being produced anymore. The defense here is fair use and that you are not doing any financial harm to the publisher, but you are still taking a risk playing any game with an emulator.I also think that this shouldn’t be happening, and that I don’t like the fact that people are funding this.
Such emulators have the potential to significantly damage a worldwide entertainment software industry which generates over $15 billion annually and tens of thousands of jobs.”Īnd it is certainly illegal for you to obtain a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for CEMU over the internet without owning a copy already for Wii U. But, as always, the answer about whether it is legal for you to take your legitimately purchased copy of Zelda and rip it to a computer to play on an emulator is in gray area. “As is the case with any business or industry, when its products become available for free, the revenue stream supporting that industry is threatened. “The introduction of emulators created to play illegally copied Nintendo software represents the greatest threat to date to the intellectual property rights of video game developers,” the company explained. Publisher Nintendo is not OK with emulation, and it has a standing comment on the matter on its corporate website.
