Which brings me back around to my original point that it was a douche move to attack an emulator project. Not to mention that PS3 piracy existed before a working emulator was produced and will probably continue to exist regardless of the existence of the emulator. Therefore the emulator itself isn’t violating the DMCA, which means that your takedown notice was baseless on the circumvention issue as well.įurther, unless I’m mistaken, the DMCA doesn’t even provide for sending takedown notices over circumvention, only actual infringement. As far as I can see the emulator itself doesn’t bypass any DRM, Yes, users are required to bypass the DRM on discs by decrypting them so that they can be used in the emulator, but the emulator itself doesn’t do the decrypting. Emulation is not copyright infringement, no matter how much the software industry would like it to be.Ģ. Not only is trying to destroy an emulator to keep people from using it to play your games a real douche move, it is completely outside the scope of the DMCA. Just because you don’t like what someone is doing in relation to your products doesn’t give you the right to try and kill their project. Side funny note, people that claim they never played this game and don’t own a console but are still complaining is pretty comical and a good example of why Atlus did this.ġ. There is a ton of piracy with emulators that people pretend doesn’t happen, and the defense the “ps3 is old,” well it’s also on PS4 and the game is not old. That being said I enjoy emulators for games I own for the reason I don’t have to hook things up, but anyone that is not going to support Atlus over this is punishing themselves. If the patreon group stopped making the emulator when they didn’t have to or Patreon themselves canned the page that’s on them. Like it or not, it’s similar to online streaming where yes, they can’t shut down web site services for streaming movies/tv shows, but they certainly can make sites take down their intellectual property. If they make it able to run persona 5 without asking the company first that also enables a strike. What most people don’t realize is that if the patreon page was listing Persona 5 or using any imagery on their page to help promote the emulator they were making that is grounds for a strike. FOR GOD SAKES ATLUS STOP MAKING GAMES FOR PSVITA!!!!!! TL DR, Atlus strike is valid, if you hate the company over this it’s your loss, don’t believe everything you read on reditard. Shin Megami Tensei V, Catherine, the whole works. The longevity of games on PC is something that’s great, and so because of this, I would love it if you guys released and sold Persona 5 on PC. I don’t want to have to hope that there’s a port on a newer system each time there’s a new Playstation console or something. If I buy something, I want to always be able to play it on a modern platform. Plus as I said, I prefer the longevity of PCs. If they were on PC, people would be able to play them at 4k or even 8k one day, and such graphical control would help the games’ beauty show even more. Persona 5 for example is a gorgeous game, but by being on the PS3 and PS4, its being limited in the sense that those consoles can only do so much. I love and adore your games, but I don’t like how game consoles get replaced over time or how limiting they are graphically at times. I would love it if you guys released your games on PC. We want to continue having a dialogue about where and how you would like to play our games. Unfortunately, when our content is illegally circumvented and potentially made available for free, in a format we do not think delivers the experience and quality we intend, it undermines our ability to do so by diverting potential support from new audiences. We want to keep bringing you titles like Persona 5.
