There's many layers to this, which I think can make discussions confusing. In the West: * Preserving art and history for as long as humanly possible is seen as a moral principle * Games are seen as a part of art and history, and therefore worth preserving on principle * Here, it is not considered unthinkable (from a social perspective) to break rules or even laws for the sake of upholding a greater moral principle. This attitude likely comes from western history. * A game that has reached its "End-of-service" and made unavailable is considered the same as something thrown away in the trash; it is unwanted by its owner * General feelings about large corporations in the west are very negative. There's no trust relationship. Many here regard large companies as untrustworthy at best and outright demons or villains at worst. * Companies are considered separate entities from creators, and their views aren't considered representative of the original creators. I think the Japanese view on this issue is similarly multi-layered, which is why both sides feel so strongly about it.

この精神は日本側からだと理解できないだろうな (遊びたいゲームがあるが日本だと絶対に遊べない、海賊版を作れば遊べる、というシチュエーションが稀であるため)

外国人の海賊版擁護を見て「ここまで遵法精神を持ち合わせていないのか」と驚愕してる

excited about the rein private server, i think its a shining example of the love people have for this game to go through the effort to preserve it. that said its incredibly unfortunate that its likely the project will be forced to shut down because people don't know how to act


There's such a different response to this from Japanese fans and everyone else, most people are happy about a dead game being brought back by the community. But I've seen a bunch of Japanese fans angry about this because it goes against the wishes of Square Enix.


made a $175 instacart order and the shopper left the reciept in the bag found out it would cost $125 if shopped in person 40% markup what a great business model

getting really into Mecha anime is so bittersweet because almost the entire genre is peak but so few people appreciate the vast majority of it


On the 9th of April 2025, the 1st episode of Gundam GQuuuuuuX aired. Produced by Studio Khara & Sunrise, it ran for 12 Episodes and takes place in an alternate Universal Century timeline. Happy 1st Anniversary 🎉

If the man who required tampons in 4th grade boy's bathrooms thinks you've lost your mind, it's a pretty good sign you're completely sane.
