I pay for all my games, and if the storefront goes down and I lose the data, I jailbreak the game system at EoL and will play backups. I lost all my Wii VC games, I keep buying the modern versions, so ethically, I should be allowed to play my backups.

I keep my receipts, and backups of my games. I paid for those games, the people who made the games get my money every time that game is available for purchase. As a guy who plays a great many ports, I was going to play that old game on that new platform anyway.

I rebuy them again when the next rerelease happens, couldn't resell them anyway, not that I want to. I have a right to a means to run those executable(s) of the game(s) that I paid for, and nobody can stop me from doing it.

Ethically, I do the right thing by giving money to the developers for that game at every turn.

The whole point of the piracy dialogue is a developer's or publisher's right to be paid for their IP.

But should people have access to physical games? Yes. Ownership, especially in a postmarket situation, comes in many forms. If that's how they acquire and keep their data is on physical discs, that should be an option. I love discs too, but owning them is a luxury reserved for people who will stay in the same house for decades and decades and decades.

I like being able to pull my copy off the internet so I don't have to make space in my house for, or keep shipping around, plastic that eventually suffers from and succumbs to bitrot.

Let's say even if I have to pirate to keep playing the thing I legally bought, have proof of purchase, and never resold (not that I could anyway), and even keep buying the new versions. Who's actually going to stop me, and for what reason?

Fuck that. Ethically, I still consider it owning the game on that platform, so I'm entitled to it.

The devs know their shit's gonna get passed around online when they can no longer monetize it, that's the whole reason they keep rereleasing games. I don't need to pretend I NEED a disc to say that I own a game I purchased.

But do I still think no physical media is a net negative? Yes, it denies a form of access to games or ownership of games, that's fucked up.
