Are emulators beneficial? Discuss this topic.
Do they truly help protect video games, or are they an excuse to pirate games?
I look forward to reading your comments. 
It's more the former with how devs use emulators. We also use emulators if we want play games without all the subscription or scalper bullshit, or if we want to play them with unofficial translation patches.
I'd say both. The power of free shit can't be denied, but it's also a good protection from bogus $10000 condition-nearly new, only run over with a bulldozer scalpers and amateur devs massacring old games with "remasters".
both are good things. I am only willing to pay for physical release anything else is a scam
>>1694 Emulators are essential for games no longer being sold or unable to be (licensing, legal battles, etc.) I will buy a game if it is available and functional. For example, the Castlevania DS collection is a much better option than emulation the seperate games imo
