Prah: You realise that many games sold on GOG can also be found for free on Abandoneware-sites + DOSBox is a free emulator as well, but yet we pay for it to be included in games.
But that is none of my business... KiNgBrAdLeY7: I forgot the word "console". Sorry for me forgetting things randomly like that. You should have guessed that though, easily too, since i mentioned for example something like Sega Collection. For pc, i can gladly pay for an old game and the emulator, especially since people actually worked on it to offer compatibility for modern systems; i cannot say the same though for crooks, charging a mere handful of entirely free pieces for the price of one modern game...
Plus, you forgot to comment on moderators deleting an entirely free game posted in a gaming forum there, while here it thrived, when i did.
True, I was a bit unfair. But yes, I can agree on that the emulators should be kept free of charge, but free sharing of ROMs for these emulator is actually a legally grey-area since those are actually games that once upon a time costed money (and most of them aren't even considered abandoneware). I know one site basically had to pull all their Nintendo game ROMs to avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo.
Also moderating on Steam forums are known for being bad and unfair, especially since the moderators are not paid by Valve but are instead actually volonteer Steam fanboys.
