Yes, we absolutely don’t support this one, we should make it super duper clear how certain we are that we know we don’t support this one. Maybe a X shape?

It's not just you who you are affecting, but also all the people who worked on the game, Nintendo and Microsoft, and even the entire video game industry by doing things like this.
Continuing to play discontinued games and sharing that joy with new people and generations seems like a good way of strengthening an industry
And there are legal ways to do so like buying the discontinued game physically.

Yeah, Nintendo AND Microsoft of all companies really do deserve all the pity they can get, seeing as they’re such pro-consumer, fan-friendly, not-at-all monopolistic, completely altruistic entities. Right?

#36The question is how much longer will you even be able to find Blu Ray drives at all. The UHD drive market is already dangerously small and it was a PITA to get a replacement when my previous one died to a kamikaze disc.

We all do illegal things all the time, I’m fine knowing that this one goes in the “bad” pile. I’m sure something terrible will happen to me soon.

You don't have to try so hard to convince me, I was already on board with the patched firmware.

Won't someone think of the multi billion dollar corporations?! If peop- THIEEEVES can just download old games forever, how will these companies make money by selling new games? Or reselling the old games in their half-baked emulation offerings! Truly the author behind this software deserves a special place in hell for creating such an evil! (Obligatory reminder the above is to be taken as hyperbolic sarcasm. The very…

Would be very curious to hear more about these kamikaze discs.
