I just cannot imagine caring about bideo game piracy and I especially cannot imagine being like Brazilian (?) or whatever and proudly paying astronomical sums for games and products and acting like you’re supporting a local bakery or something

The “guys” at MS and Sony were probably already fired

    The vast majority of video games can’t be played through legal means on current hardware, this includes some pretty big titles like NES Batman, so I’m going to advocate for piracy because, among other things, it keeps games playable.

        I honestly have no idea, but it’s obviously not just the Batman license, otherwise whoever had that license could’ve rereleased it (the first TMNT NES game was released on Wii Virtual Console just as a point of comparison). Maybe it has something to do with licensing the Burton movie, or just the way licensed games worked back then: if you look at how many games were made based on that movie, it was something like five different ones by as many companies.
