Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 189694, member: 6930"] Preservation is good for any kind of medium I agree but then again is piracy always moral. I know that the repo is doing this but I'm mostly speaking about the more recent games. If something is still being sold in store I don't consider that pirating it is preservation whatsoever. For something to be preserved you need to have a reason (such as it no longer being legally available anymore) to prevent it to be lost forever. This is why I personally consider it less moral to pirate an indie game made by a small group (if not one person) but some people wouldn't take the size of the company nor the age of the product into account. According to whom? To what? How can someone be completely objective about the "validity" of an opinion. Everyone has a level of bias (even to the smallest extent) so we cannot have a completely unbiased judge to qualify everyone's opinions and even if the majority of people were sharing the same opinion that wouldn't make it automatically the best nor the truth (people used to think the Sun was rotating around Earth centuries ago, this has been disproved since). I'd also argue that our western point of view on things is not automatically better just because it's ours and we cannot force others to agree/believe it's the correct one. But I'm digressing a lot and I won't go too much because it would lead to a political or political-adjacent conversation. [/QUOTE]
