SEGA says hiiiii to Denuvo for their PC releases. They love Denuvo so much that unlike other publishers who drop it a year or two after release, they like to keep it on forever.

I have nearly a dozen DRM free SEGA games on GOG.

Most of their titles are on the Denuvo watchlist, but they do have some games on GOG which is a good sign.

This curator is tracking Denuvo Anti-Tamper games on Steam. Make sure to also check out the group and the Discord server.

A 5TB cloud drive? Even if i could have as much my upload speed is so low, i would need months to backup.
I just use spare hard drives that i keep offline in a drawer.

Vast majority of consumers don't see it that way sadly.

People will always find an excuse to pirate.
I will admit that if a game is no longer in circulation, I may download a ROM to play on my handheld. However, a lot of older games are still purchasable like Legend of Dragoon on PS4/PS5.
The Switch and its games are all still in circulation.

The fun aspect is that people that most hate Nintendo are the same people you see in these kind of threads always… I don't get how you hate a company so much an at the same time are so worried about old Nintendo games preservation at the same time.

That's just it, they're not worried about game preservation if they're upset about not being able to download TOTK, a game they can easily walk into a store and purchase a physical version.

I like their old games. I don't like how they operate as a company nowadays. Doesn't seem that complicated or hard to understand.

You don't like Nintendo shutting down Pirate sites?

Nope, I don't. Sooner rather than later they'll be the one and only way to access old games that are not available anywhere else.

And that worry is based on what? Nintendo is not showing signs of doing that…

The problem is they are pirating current games, all the more reason for Nintendo and their partners go after these sites.

On one hand, I think disavowing Nintendo for taking down rom sites is kind of silly. Intellectual property and what not. The Internet will find a way to bring them all back, that data is still out there.
On the other hand, white knighting a massive video game corporation and grandstanding about how heckin evil those pirates are is also extremely silly. Then again, this is a video game forum on the Internet, I guess.

Nintendo can be criticized about many things ($80 dollar games, game key cards, etc), but not this. They are well within their right to defend their IP, their partner's and their own financial interests for games they are currently selling on their current platform. Anyone expressing outrage over this is just a clown, especially seeing how futile this endeavor always is anyway. As long as the internet exists, the ROMs will always be available. You can't stop it.

It's how aggressive they are going after these people and the punishments they are pursuing, that even gives Sony and Microsoft pause. So apparently we aren't alone in thinking this.

Right now for example you can play Bahamut Lagoon translated into English. If Nintendo succeeds in shutting down all roms from the internet, you will never be able to play this game in English again.
And I have the feeling that this game is not exactly a top priority for any company to republish and translate.
Nothing is gained from roms being removed from the internet.

Got mixed feelings about that because the only way to play a patched version of the game most of the time is with piracy. Personally I don't really care, not just because I know enough Japanese to play RPGs but mostly because I don't really care about most games that haven't been released in the West, there are far more games available I want to play as to go hand pick one that hasn't been translated. I can understand fans of the series wanting to play, though.
And truth be told now people mostly play with guides because they don't want to miss anything so you could just use a guide to play Lagoon skipping all the text.

You don't care for fan translations, fine, but don't expect people to think like you. Playing a game in Japanese by skipping all text and using a guide is nothing like playing the same game in a language you understand. It is a shitty experience overall.
You can also own a Japanese copy of the game if you want to feel "better" about it.
