Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱThe feral, passionate coders are the true heroes.
tbh the wonders of the Feral PC Army include several groups writing console emulators. I am successfully running: Wii, Wii U, Switch, OG Xbox and PS3 emulators as we speak. I understand Xbox 360 and PS4 are also out there, but I haven't got 'round to them yet.
Interestingly, a lot of media for these emulators is just kind of laying around on the internet for anybody to download.
It's kinda funny to me because the OG Xbox is what I still use for emulation. Mine has a 2 TB HDD and runs XBMC (what eventually became Kodi). I love that thing and it is still my media server as well. Having to use FTP is a little annoying in the modern day, and it has gotten hard to find disc's to burn to it, but it still runs like a champ.
Wow that's impressive. The thing was built like a brick. I had one back in the day and had several games (all of which I downloaded and am running for the nostalgia hit).
One game I found I never knew existed is Tron 2.0. I can't believe I never even heard of this game, I would have been all about it. The nice thing about the emulator is it has an upscaler and games in HD are absolutely dynamite, especially Tron 2.0.
360 might be the single most buggy emulator I play. Shit runs on thoughts and prayers
We do have decomps in the pipes apparently for those exclusives that keep me hopeful. Fable 2 has one halfway running as of I think a few months ago.
So it the perfect Xbox 360 emulator?
Oh damn they coded the random red ring of death into an emulator? That's really cool. I wonder how they can emulate the euphoric and absolutely not infuriating experience of scratching a disc for no apparent reason.
Hahahah
(sob) i love u guys
Thank u
There are also competing digital market spaces. You can only buy through Sony on PlayStation.
for everyone on everything
Every Windows user on every x86-64 PC?
Not post-Windows users using Linux or macOS, the latter of which are ARM64 machines.
So, not everyone and not everything.
Where's the feral passion in getting off Microsoft's tit?
Wine, Proton, rosetta 2...
Mac and Linux have pretty decent Windows-only game availability.
Also, on pc, anyone who wants a physical media are free to create them as they please (assuming no drm or piracy, of course)
GoG is the best place for offline installers
PC master race.
Fuck off with that nazi shit.
Yes PCs are fine. “Master race” is not fine.
But communist is ok after Stalin murdered even more people apparently.
Also, get your meds man.
I thought it was race as in competition, like car race. So like who is the fastest PC master. Race of PC masters.
You need help.
That term was solely coined by the Nazis. He is right in criticizing it. Using faschist terminology like this waters it down and helps fascist to claim their spaces in the middle of society all while normalizing their ideology.

Or takes the piss out of it. Just depends on your point of view.
Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation is a nazi? Cause that's who coined the term.
I think they refer to the original term
But should also be noted that Yahtzee used the term to parody the snootyness of PC gamers. But they then started to use it unironically
Master tribe better?
Master Baitor?
Maybe think for a bit about whether you really want to defend your use of that term or not.
Oh really? Then where is my pirated version of Marvel Heroes?
I mean, it has to be worth cracking in the first place.
Boooom hahahah
oh wow, that's impressive
Fair
2009scape as one example
I dont even have a disk drive on my self build PC and my next Laptop won't have either. I let other people built physical media storages. And some of em put them on torrent/Usenet/etc.
What a weird argument. People preserve all the digital games on consoles, too. The only somewhat fair argument would be that it's slightly easier to preserve games on PC, but really both have their own challenges. On PC you're fighting DRM, on consoles you're fighting the OS security to break in.
The only real excuse for digital only is DRM free, where you can backup your installers.

And cheapness. Steam has always gotten away with this because it's just plain cheap. Their distribution costs are way, way less per game and it's easier for them to pass on savings, which I think is a big part of how they can push games for so cheap compared to most phyical media sources.
You need a PC crack to the console so check mate atheist. Edit: also I'm just playing.
I'm not just playing, I'm also seeding* eXoDOS and eXoWin95.
