>Wow, just wow, this company is fucking pathetic
just like the people who are willing to go through hoops to play a game because they wont buy a console

Just wait for the PS4 remaster.

wtf i hate fatlus now.

I mean, the choices are simple

>buy overpriced hardware for one game

or

>download all you need in 5 minutes, play game, delete, move on with your life without wasting money

Literally no reason to support Sony. If Atlus ported the game to PC I'd gladly give them money for it.

It's a PC Fags think they are above copyright law episode.

>go through hoops
it's really easy, console woman. i know your feelings are flustered, but the fact of the matter is that it's easy to do

>fatlus still mad their shitty mmo bombed

>Refuse to port game
>"Oh thats fine we'll start a grassroots project so people who enjoy your games can play it"
>REEEEEEEE
burn in hell slanty eyes

how is buying a piece of hardware worth a few hundred dollars not going through hoops?

>buy overpriced hardware for one game
but ps3 are for cheap now and you can hack it to get the game for free

>muh feelings
>pls leave muh company alone i tie myself to this company like a woman ties herself to a man or some handbag company
consoe women

Let the War on PCfats begin

Will hue monkeys ever stop being niggers who have to steal everything?

>but ps3 are for cheap now and you can hack it to get the game for free
Finding one on 3.55 or downgrading is not

>emulation
>illegal

>PCfats THIS mad that they can't play P5

Gonna be honest this is even stupider on Atlus' part than I was expecting. Didn't even try to take down things on the RPCS3 site, just tried to take down their Patreon out of spite which they have zero legal backing for

What a bunch of retards

Emulation by itself is not illegal, but stealing the ISO (which 99% of broke-ass PCturds do anyway) is in fact illegal.

Based Atlus cucking PCfags
Why doesn't Nintendo do the same thing with CEMU and BOTW?

>telling people to rip the game using a hacked PS3 is infringing our IP!
No it's not. People are entitled to making backups of their own games. It's called "fair use"

There's tons of people that would buy it on PC if it got an official port. But since Atlus refuses to release games on PC, the next resort is emulation.

A used PS3 is like $80 now
if you're that much of a bargin hunter, get a CFW PS3 with a broken bluray drive for dirt cheap and pirate everything.

That's irrelevant to the topic though

>we deserve to steal your games because we feel like it

>Playing a visual novel
Kek

Circumventing DRM is against the DMCA, tho.

Infringing on their IP is wrong, tho.

If you want money from PCfags maybe you should release it on PC you fucking dolts

I don't blame people for wanting to emulate P5 on PC so they can play it without having to buy a console

But it just grinds my gears when anyone uses the pretense that it's a noble effort like this faggot The company who paid for and produced the game did so with the intent to sell and distribute it in a certain way that they like, and if you don't like that well that's your problem. Don't whine and throw a hissyfit when they to put a stop to people circumventing systems placed around a product they own wholesale.


But this is an age-old argument and just like any emulation/piracy thread before it nothing's going to change

>implying i want to play this trash game
No thanks.

Literally NOBODY rips the game from a hacked PS3, they pirate it from PSNDL or piratebay. You can obviously tell by asking anyone to post their param.sfo copy of Persona 5 on their PC to any upload site. When you inspect it with param reader it shows the game is a cracked PSN copy, not a legit bluray dump.

so much buttmad. I love it, and I don't even like P5.

If you want to play Persona 5 maybe you should buy a PS4

Legally you are allowed to make a copy for use on an alternate platform. This allowance is what stopped the record companies' attempts to ban MP3 players and the conversion of CD audio to MP3.

lmao just buy the fucking console its not even expensive.

>“no version of the P5 game should be playable on this platform [PC]

This shouldn't be so funny, but it is. They can't do shit about it.

>we feel like it

more like theres no other way to play the game unless you emulate it

>tfw you will never be this much of a neckbeard

Emulation isn't stealing, you're supposed to buy the disc and go from there. You can't blame RPCS3 for people who download an ISO from a different website.

Buy a PS4 if you want to play it so fucking bad, they aren't obligated to put it on PC

>pay 300$ + 60$ to play one game
No thanks

Nah, I refuse to give Sony money.
Sony is cancer, and I'd sooner neck myself than reward their shit decisions as of late (the past decade or so).

Yeah fuck them for wanting to sell their game.

>The company who paid for and produced the game did so with the intent to sell and distribute it in a certain way that they like, and if you don't like that well that's your problem. Don't whine and throw a hissyfit when they to put a stop to people circumventing systems placed around a product they own wholesale.
Do you defend region-locking as well?

Still waiting for the emulator to surpass the ps3.
Don't want to play my games in sub 30 fps.

Then you don't get to play Persona 5
Deal with it

This doesn't stop the RPCS3 devs from doing what they're doing. This doesn't stop us from emulating the games we want to play. There is no real reason to worry or throw fits.

just like I aint obliged to buy a shitty piece of hardware just to play one game
they lost a shit ton of sales because their hate for pc

>WAAAH WAAAH I CAN'T GET FREE GAMES GRRR I HATE ATLUS

lol

What's gonna happen? They gonna stop me?

There's literally nothing wrong with region locking.

I'll play it on PC when it's perfect, thanks

The difference is that when I dislike something like region locking, jewery through delayed exlusivity/porting, bullshit paid DLC etc., I don't try to take something that I have no right to

I just don't buy/play the game

to be fair, the RPCS3 devs were using copyrighted Persona material to promote their patreon without permission from Atlus. Their fucking intro to RPCS3 video has a Persona 5 image of Ann as the thumbnail with a patreon logo and link.

>We firmly believe we operate within a legal framework and will continue to work on RPCS3, undeterred.

Kek atlus fed more attention and funds into the emulator and still got cucked

>they lost a shit ton of sales because their hate for pc
It doesnt matter though, the game is a fucking success

>wtf you mean I have to own the console the game is on to play the game? This is an outrage!
>they lost a shit ton of sales
lol k

>mustards say consoles are shit and they hate console gaming
>get butthurt whenever they can't steal console exclusives
O B S E S S E D

>It's a Sup Forums has become so contrarian people suck corporate dick episode

okay have fun playing the waiting game in the meantime

>>wtf you mean I have to own the console the game is on to play the game? This is an outrage!
Yea, like I said, Sony is cancer.
I don't give money to cancer.

They should release their games on PC then. Stop bitching if people get other ways to play them

>I'm new and never been in a piracy thread before

>I just don't buy/play the game

But I want to play the game, and legally can without the console

Most people just get sick of PCfags acting like its some mortal sin when a company doesn't put a game on PC
Its not like a used PS3 is expensive at all anyways

Who are you quoting?

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to Bannerlord and Mario.

how poor do you have to be that you can't afford a used PS3 so you pay $300+ for a core i7 just to emulate it with worse accuracy than PS3.

>PS4 remaster

No way would they remaster a game on the same exact console the original version is on right?

Consolefags have always been corporatists m8.

Then you don't get to play Persona 5

ITT:Underage users first getting into emulation

Nothing new, move along.

If you honestly expect to continue on with the pretense that you or any majority of people are actually going to buy a copy of the game and rip it to emulate instead of just downloading off of piratebay, don't expect to be taken seriously.

>>I'm new
Clearly you are. Sup Forums wasn't always like thus

>makes game exclusive to one platform
>people hack it and illegally make it playable on another platform instead
>wow they fucking suck
of course they'll be angry you fucking retard

>WAAAH WAAAH STOP PLAYING GAMES ON PC AND BUY A PLAYSTATION

lol

Nah, I'll just emulate it.

>Nintendo shuts down AM2R
>"lmao they deserved it, it was trash anyway"
wtf i hate Sup Forums now

They did it for P3 FES and Nocturne on PS2. Then again that was 10 years ago

You can CLAIM that so-so many users do it illegally, but you're gonna have to provide proof for such a claim. And users doing this legit are the ones who will document this to back the legitimacy of this method. So essentially, as much as companies (and corporate fuckbois like on this site) would like to practically mind-control consumers into being obedient drones, they'll all have to continue to REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

All the while i emulate the entirety of the Persona franchise for absolutely free ;^)

sure thing bud

NEVER
EVER

Emulation is not illegal. This isn't like some sort of opinion it's law and up held in courts. Please shut up, you sound like a buttblasted child.

Pic related, it's you.

>how poor do you have to be that you can't afford a used PS3 so you pay $300+ for a core i7
How do consolefags manage to contradict themselves so often and easily?
It's almost like it comes so natural that you don't even notice it.

I think it's justified to pirate a game if the developer made no way for you to buy it. There's no reason they couldn't make a PC port, complaining that PC users aren't buying the game when they CANT buy the game is silly. I'm sure a lot of people emulating it would love to purchase it. It's just Japanese developers being dumb with business as usual.

>If you honestly expect to continue on with the pretense that you or any majority of people are actually going to buy a copy of the game and rip it to emulate instead of just downloading off of piratebay, don't expect to be taken seriously.

I don't need to because it's irrelevant to the legality of using an emulator

This is a shit thread.

I own two PS3s, am I allowed to use my emulator now?

Consolefag's entire reality revolves around blind dedication to a single corporation they believe is their friend and has their best interests in mind.

the point is that people are so retarded ITT that they would pay MORE MONEY to play a inferior emulated product

But it's playable on PC, mate

When did I ever assert that it was illegal?

Hahaha poorfags BTFO
Hahaha just buy a PS4 hahaha like its so cheap its almost free ahhahaha

>I think it's justified to pirate a game if the developer made no way for you to buy it
You live in some country where they don't sell PS4s?

yall pcbros are fucking pathetic

Just buy a ps3 man, it's not that costly, and saying that the developers made no way for you to buy is utter bullshit.

Wow I fucking love Atlus now. Buying a Switch so I can buy SMT 5.

>sperging is now normal
Fuck off retard. Game companies have every right to stop emulation

So how well does it run? This thread makes me want to give it a try.

Not much different than people using Persona 5 stuff as avatars for forums and such, but since they got attention then they will clamp down on it.
All the comparison stuff they did is probably fair game though with the ruling from bleem.
>The court, seeing that on balance the four factors favored Bleem, held that Bleem's use was a fair use and vacated the preliminary injunction imposed by the district court, remanding for further proceedings. The holding was qualified by a caveat that the finding of fair use only applied insofar as the screen shots accurately represented how games looked on the Playstation console. The court made clear that they were persuaded by “the need for Bleem to impose minimally upon Sony's copyright with respect to these screen shots because there is no other way to create a truly accurate comparison for the user.”

>already own PC
>already own a PS3 for that matter

The argument that anyone would build a 1500 dollar PC to emulate a single PS3 game is objectively fucking retarded, user. They probably built it to play many games, native or emulated.
