Ahem...

Thanks much

Yeah we know... I think the issue is more about the insane amount of money Sony is leaving on the table here, and for no reason that anyone has ever been able to figure out.

It's like the only PS exclusive game that has yet to have a modern remaster. It also has to be the most popular PS exclusive released in the past ~20 years.

Forgot they are dealing with Sony.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

One can see which torrents you share. So when they can't jail you for that - yes, but money makes laws.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

That'd be a Nintendo reference, yes? Though I think somebody else stole Wine code and was caught. No huge consequences obviously.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

That doesn't fix the problem here though, which is that a specific distribution source took it down.

Oh wow - that's something I was unaware of!

But then it is certainly the need for a jailbroken console that has Sony filing a DMCA. Sony has historically been ridiculously controlling and tight with their console software... I fortunately was pretty in the know and didn't upgrade my PSP software beyond the version range for running exploits - but there were periods of months where no progress was ever made on future versions. It was a very long, hard fought cat and mouse game. And another example, mod chip makers for PS3/4/5 have been repeatedly taken to court and dismantled by Sony.

Lol, and Rockstar selling Midnight Club 2 (IIRC) on Steam shipping with .exe file originally cracked by RAZOR 1911(source)

[yttra@lemmy.world]

I think at this point that the dev has said only his website was taken down, solely because he used "Bloodborne" on it. The actual patch is fine, and can be freely shared, as I understand it.

And it's still accessible through the Wayback Machine soooo

WINE is open source, so it's not stealing to use it
