@Erebos_EU@chasejamesxxx you're the first person I've ever seen who is also allergic to kiwis... I'm literally allergic to kiwis and only kiwis, you too?

@6kka_ujiko I am not so sure this is true? In the past Square Enix required to help of fans' preservations to do a remake of a game... Either way, I was referring more to the preservation of games as interactive art, not so much the literal source code/files.
@6kka_ujiko I believe we will never know the true intention. Companies will always insist on politically careful statements.
For the sake of discussion Square Enix' motivation also does not really matter, I think. This is mostly an exchange of ideologies, is it not?
@6kka_ujiko perhaps the absolute insistence on preservation is a bit of a desperate scramble to keep a piece of "better times".
Yet at the same time, I think the opposite is also not good...
A balance might be possible, but I am not smart enough to come up with one that satisfies everyone
@mazochina23631@6kka_ujiko I don't mean to ignore a law that exists, I mean to imagine a world where the law does not exist. How would you personally feel about piracy of discontinued products/art/games?
@6kka_ujiko I feel like the analogy to the artist burning a painting works, but the reason behind it might not be accurate. In this case it would be an art estate choosing to stop showing a painting because it does not sell enough tickets. In such a situation is artistic integrity a factor?
@mazochina23631@6kka_ujiko This is what I was mostly alluding to. Hence the question regarding paintings/prints vs games with a lifespan. Are future generations supposed to only hear about these works of art? In an age of increasing documentation regarding everything a sense of having lost out might emerge
@6kka_ujiko in the west, art gives a feeling of immortality or undying, but from your prior messages it sounds like art is supposed to die? how do you view the difference between less ephemeral art like paintings and video games (which supposedly should die someday) as a Japanese person?
@6kka_ujiko I do not think they are evil, but from my own experience living in our more piracy-prone society, I can say it is a major letdown to know amazing art is out there to be enjoyed, but companies (seemingly) arbitrarily decide we can't.
@6kka_ujiko I do not think it is justice, but westerners have been screwed over by corporations frivolously deciding against the consumer for decades, so naturally this societal custom has emerged. Perhaps Japanese companies take care of the customer more and thus you live more symbiotically
@Surrender_OTZ@Altret_KnW@zombies_cleaner I believe the difference is that copyright for westerners mostly exists to protect economic gain from the product, whereas in Japan it seems as more of an artistic/integrity protection?
@6kka_ujiko@Reflect_Card@Tanshiro4 typically, unless piracy is perpetrated on a large scale, the government does not care. The laws seem to exist only for large scale piracy and small scale consumers are completely ignored
-> I pirate movie = ok
-> I pirate movie and distribute online = ×
@mazochina23631@Gorp_Shit@AzwraithPro@Alison_is_lost No harm done. I understand the issue is quite incendiary to Japanese people, so getting attacked from all over the world now must feel bad.
I just hope we can agree that both sides just want to appreciate the art in the way they are used to.
