I should've expected piracy, but my first thought was giveaways, lmao

I enjoy retrogaming as much as the next guy but it makes the Linux community look detached from reality to suggest that video games are a commodity. People want to play specific games. If pleading with people to be satisfied with native offerings was a winning argument it would have won twenty years ago. Emulation is an incredible experience on Linux but to do it legally requires you to already own the proprietary rom and bios almost without exception, which I notice is conveniently omitted from the discussion.

Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
