        Or fan game developer. Or data miner. Or gaming youtuber. Or game tournament staff. Or the former actors of their various official “news” video segments. Or former American contractors for them (lots of “fun” stories from the 90’s and 00’s).

        And how can we forget? Their 11th hour backstabbing of Sony on the planned CD addon for the SNES, choosing instead to go with Phillips to make the CD-i, is the whole reason Sony even entered the console wars. Out of fucking spite. The Playstation was originally planned to be a SNES addon like the Sega CD.

        So I guess that’s one upside to their shittyness.

          This. Look at their recent move against the Smash Bros tournament scene.

          Look at their love/hate relationship with Splatoon and how their lies and abuse have killed off a once vibrant community and budding e-sport that at one point had several major tournaments.

          Emuparadise just got cold feet after another one bit the dust, it’s why they are still up, just not hosting roms.
