Spectator Mode Podcast Ep. 108 – Emulation isn’t bad but piracy sure is

By Keith MitchellOctober 11, 2021
Spectator Mode Podcast

With all the discourse following the recent articles posted by Kotaku and PC Gamer, you didn’t expect us to sit on the sidelines, did you? In this impromptu podcast, Keith and Karl discuss the ins and outs of emulation, the legal aspect of them, and why advocating piracy is not only wrong, it’s disruptive. Don’t pirate and don’t rip money from people who worked long hours to give you a game you enjoy.

And yes, this episode was released before ep. 107, that’s a big one so it’s taking a bit more time to bake.
