I don't care if this comes from the Japanese company or not, I will not give them my money as long as they continue to take stances like this and bully small groups of their own fans to get away with it. Atlus makes many games I do truly enjoy but if this is what they want then so be it. I personally can't see myself supporting this company any longer. It's not as if Atlus has a leg to stand on legally from what I understand either, they have no right to do this its a bullying tactic because its likely the guys behind this emulator couldn't raise money to actually fight a lawsuit even if Atlus knows they would lose. As Stumpokapow said, the streaming guidelines with Persona 5 that they enforce to take down videos and streams, the region locking on many of their products, and now this. I've put up with a lot of what I find to be as bullshit from Atlus as of late. Shining Force 3 is literally my favorite SRPG of all time, any time I can bring it up and introduce it to people I do and I would never had a chance to even know of its existence if not for emulation.

I could have easily have found many of those games illegally if I wanted to but I wanted to support these companies who make these great games and I know I am far from alone on that. Shining Force 3 (all 3 scenarios), Tales of Veserpia, several Super Robot Wars games, ect. I've bought several Japanese games in order to use emulation and fan patches to play them in English. This is essential to understand why literally anything happens in the justice system.ģ) You have a brain that you can use besides expressing bewilderment at the conversation going on around you.Īlso I call bullshit onto the false idea that emulation=piracy. Also, the law system depends very little on whether you are legally correct and a lot about whether you are well resourced enough to bankrupt the other guy, because most cases are never tried to their final conclusion. 1) 'GAF moderators' are individual people with individual opinions and unless we're relating to you GAF's rules there's nothing special or privileged about our opinions, and I don't even think of those of us who have participated in the discussion we agree on the details of either what should happen or what would happen if push came to shove.Ģ) Atlus making a blog post doesn't suggest anything about whether they have a legal leg to stand on, and to some extent 'going public' is a political strategy to circumvent having to adjudicate the legal case.

Why atlus not release persona 5 pc
