"t's kind of the same case with SteamVR how anyone can make a headset that complies with the API, while Valve themselves don't manufacture the hardware. "
SteamVR = acessory.
Nintendo didnt made all their acessorys, they outsourced some of then, that dont mean they arent into HW business.

Quoting: qptain Nemo

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoConsole gaming must back to cartridges and problem solved...

You rent it, you play it... You buy it, you own it.

I like your optimism but just look at optical discs. If big companies made cartridges now, half of the cartridge would be hardware DRM, a quarter would be filled with software DRM and the remaining quarter would contain the game. :D

switch is cartrigde based (or memory card, whatever)

Quoting: kuwangerso any argument about how other emulators may be inaccurate as well and "ruin" the experience is absurd--casual players don't care and hardcore players should learn well enough the trade-offs.

Atlus is not Nintendo, Nintendo not caring about accuracy dont mean Atlus not caring about accuracy.

Quoting: kuwangerBut I'm not a Persona fan at all, so there's no risk of a lost sale if there's a decent PS3 emulator, regardless

you think that an good emulator born overnight?
it take years to make an good emulator, this ps3 emulator didnt born yesterday and now its perfect, it born years ago and only now some games were playable (with issues)
a lot of people volunter then selfs as beta testers or tested it not knowing about the issue.
what about those?
they had an imperfect emulation, not only an inacurate but one with tons of issues.

no risk of a lost sale?
if atlus port the game before there are an emulator of it, they may sell a lot.
if they port it after, they will sell almost nothing.
and why they dont port the game already before they make the game playable on PS3, you may ask? exclusivy deal with sony probably.

Quoting: rkfgWow, is this the first time we actually solved the Feral's riddle? Unfortunately, they don't explain the logic behind them even after the release, but this one looks really convincing.

nope, we did it once before and they confirmed it.
(at least once)

that is great, there are a lot of asset stores out there, but many of then dont have assets that match it other.
each asset is on an different style.

not in this case! all the assets combine with each other.

that is great for individual developers, or people who just need place holders before they replace it with the final version.
or has the patreon quote, teachers/students learning how to make an game

Quoting: slaapliedjeI am still puzzled why Jumpan on the c64 is missing the awesome music in places that the Atari 8bit has.

Also wondering how Commodore got the later Ultimas after 4 ported, they were practially unplayable on the c64 with all the disk swapping.

you mean jumpman? it became mario :v

Quoting: tuubibut pirating a text editor is pointless. You won't lose much productivity or convenience by switching to a free alternative.

you're assuming that people know about those free alternatives, they dont.
it took me years to replace notepad with something better, i didnt even knew what synstax highlight where, or that this is possible.
auto complete is another killer feature, those things are important for productivity, so the text editor you chose do matter!

piracy became part of an culture, people arent used to search for alternatives when they can't pay for something, and as an result they dont tell their frieds, neighbors and family about those alternatives.

Quoting: ScooptaSNES emulation is actually pretty much perfect. SNES emulation is incredibly accurate. Anything newer though and that accuracy more or less falls apart.

its hard to notice the difference by eye, just take a read at the article.
plus, its true that we can get an pretty much perfect emulator, if WE USE THE RIGHT emulator, the one quoted on the article (nowadays its the snes part of higan, the gameboy still has issues)

Quoting: tuubiApples and oranges.

not really, piracy is piracy dont matter what you're piraiting.
if people who use pirated photoshop dont use gimp/krita, why do you think they will use linux?
people took years to replace IE they would take even more to replace an Operating system, piracy only make this stuff harder

Quoting: tuubiIf someone already owns the game on a console, they're not likely to buy it for pc. If they pirated the console version to play with an emulator, they're not likely to pay for the game anyway. This argument is pretty much nonsense.

that is exactly the reason that they dont want people playing it on pc.
thanks for confirming that Atlus is right.
