The #Backlog Breakdown

Episode 5: Emulation is Theft! ...or is it?


Listen Later

This week's breakdown is a conversation that was brought up by a good friend of the show, Wes. Because the topic of emulation and ROMs is complex and multifaceted, we're splitting it up into 2 parts, the first of which lays the foundation of our understanding and differing perspectives on the issue. Some related topics we touch on are "Games as Art", the difference between emulation and ROMs, God's sovereignty, and personal property. Stealing is sinful, but is emulation really theft?

This week's Pro Tip: Ask yourself: "Why do I need to play this game?"
