    The problem is nintendo taking down something legal, emulators. Not the content creators sharing it.

    Thousands of people (or millions) wouldn’t have been able to play certain games if emulation youtubers didn’t exist. The alternative is to leave 99% of newbies out and keep it a closed cool guy club in some obscure forum hidden across the web.

      I do agree with both points. The problem is Nintendo, and a Youtube video is a fantastic way to get more people on board.

      Main problem being that same exposure also gets stuff taken down very quickly.

      Take a certain archiver’s tinfoil shop as an example. The video someone uploaded was deleted, with the Discord guild and shop taken down within a day of the video going live.

      (Small edit here, I do not condone the shop. Only making a point.)

      It should be a cool guy club.

      I really hate it when people get angry when i say that they’re pirating and 100% i get the “i dumped it myself”, or the “i already own a copy so i am entitled to”.

      Like, dude, play the fuck along, don’t defend shit i know you can’t do. You’re gonna ruin it for the rest of us.
