You are, ultimately, witnessing the niggerfication of the internet. Similar to how masses of 3rd world immigrants gradually convert 1st world countries into copies of whatever shithole they fled from, they do the same to wherever they mass on the internet. Unfortunately, thanks to AI and tiktok, this is /anywhere/.

You don't follow the rules, because if you ever acknowledge that someone is superior to you you'll lose izzat. You don't respect terms of service, because you'll lose face. If someone is providing something for free - they shouldn't be respected as part of the community! Their service should be farmed as much as it can so you can make as many dollars off of them as you can before it shuts down, then you move on to the next scam. You do this, forever, until the entire public internet stinks like a street in New Delhi and you're looking around wondering why everything is covered in shit.

He should. I think the bigger thing is the hardware cost. If he's serving the whole thing off of spinning rust (which he probably isn't) it would have cost maybe ~4000 USD to get 400TB back in 2017. So we'll say 8 grand for the most basic redundancy. That's more like 20 grand now, factoring inflation and AI. This is an ongoing expense he'll have to eat as disks fail and need to be replaced. That's his price floor, not factoring hosting costs, co-location, legal, so on and so on. This is more of a convenient excuse for him to get out of a massive money pit than anything. People clearly don't want to contribute anything to keep it running.

>Doesn't bother going to P2P to the most shared items

No one wants to do that because it brings huge heat to your direction when you utilize it because it's heavily monitored. Same deal with torrenting. The reason people prefer DDLs is because it's significantly easier, court rulings have shown that they can't really tackle the recipient only the source so you are infinitely safer utilizing it, and torrenting/P2P generally requires some sort of VPN, proxy, or seedbox to remain safe which DDL doesn't.

market is already irrational, which means all questions of "when" are impossible to answer. going by simple income and expenses, the bubble should already have popped, but this is the world we live in. just dumping more and more money int this hoping someone, somewhere comes up with a trillion dollar use case
also, even if is pops, prices will never come down because prices never come down lmao. demand may soften, but since supply is the bottleneck, there will be very little price pressure
>>
>>733894427
Even then, you're likely to never get one because it's much less of a concern for them compared to finding the hoster of the files and they'd have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to get the IPs from these DDL sites. They also seem to generally not care unless the hoster is a major offender on top of that.

Torrenting is only safe is the item in question is not native to your country because they have zero reason to litigate it or care. As soon as it becomes something sold in your country, someone is pissed you're participating in it, and someone has significant amounts of money to lose instead of just niche autist amounts of money that's when you start to see letters for the smaller stuff.

Torrenting and P2P should be the last resort, not the main way to go about things for most people because it requires monetary investment not to get screwed over. It's best for archival and all that, but actually servicing things DDL is infinitely better for the average person because they're not having to spend $20-50 a month for a seedbox or VPN just to avoid tens of thousands of dollars in lawsuits.

The issue is how many of these backups will be as good as Myrient? How many of them will provide limitless downloads with fast download speeds?
This isn't also counting how complete these the backups would be, in terms of content and the formats they'll be in

The site getting shut down because server costs is MUCH worse than getting shut down because of Nintendo, since the former is something unavoidable and there is simply no way to work your out of it unless you're some kind of a millionaire

It technically already has, it's just deflating slowly.
OpenAI is pretty much dead in the water, everyone is jumping on Anthropic's bandwagon and Scam Altman is grasping at straws right now because everyone realized he can't walk the talk, OpenAI will be dead by the end of the year or at best early 2027, Anthropic will not last much longer either once everyone realizes Amodei is also full of shit.
Datacenters are a lost cause for a large number of reasons
>The power grid literally can't sustain them, even if the government financed expansion of the power grid and reopening of various nuclear reactors it would take literal years to get most of them running, there's several datacenters that are already fully operative but literally can't run due to being effectively cut from the grid
>The costs involved are prohibitive, there's simply too many resources we'd need, right now a single datacenter indirectly consumes thousands of gallons of oils per day purely through its electricity costs, nevermind water, maintenance and what have you
>More and more Datacenters are getting shut down in various cities due to extreme noise pollution and people generally not wanting AI shit, especially due to how much it's fucking up economy by also directly raising electricity costs and pissing off everyone

I'm over 30, I grew up with Limewire as the main means to get anything. Torrenting has never been safe if it's public, and private ones force you to seed significantly, sometimes more than double the ratio in order to even stay in that private service and even then you are putting yourself at major risk by doing it without some sort of VPN or seedbox because everyone who decides to look at you see what you're doing.

Nobody is going to be tracking you for obscure ROM downloads of 25 year old games. This is RIAA fear mongering that cost them tens of thousands of dollars doesn't apply to ancient warez downloads, nobody cares.

Most of the internet archive has torrent downloads for half of the stuff that's available on Myrent right now, and that's a literal federal honeypot.

You've been psy-opped by 20 year old music industry propaganda about how easy it is to track your torrent session, when the reality is: You're not a target, and torrenting isn't any less safe than downloading it on IRC. Encrypt headers and use DHT where possible. Your ISP can't even tell that you're torrenting, then.

They do it for obscure anime all the time because Crunchyroll is insanely litigious. Yeah, no one's going to do it for prototypes and stuff, but we've seen people getting notices for older games before, Nintendo in particular is pretty litigious about this.
>and that's a literal federal honeypot.
Except Archive.org has to deal with bureaucracy and would rather just adhere to DMCA takedown notices than do anything serious about it.
>You're not a target, and torrenting isn't any less safe than downloading it on IRC.

Meanwhile iknowhatyoudownload regularly outs people for downloading stuff because they didn't have a VPN or seedbox even if their torrent client is doing what it can.

Yes, it's unlikely you as an individual are going to get touched, likely a letter at best until you get like five and then your ISP either drops you or you legitimately get sent to court. Yes, IP doesn't prove who was doing it. But torrenting will get you letters at some point while DDL never will unless you literally upload the thing yourself or are hosting it yourself. That's why torrenting is a catch 22 because you are always uploading when you are downloading and even if you have 0 KB/u you still were a provider legally.

PS3 games can be grabbed from Sony so there's no loss there.
The major preservation projects like Redump/No-Intro/TOSEC dump things specifically to have preserved copies. People who are connected to those projects reupload them to places like myrient/archival sites/torrent trackers.
Something will likely take myrient's place after it's gone but it's always kind of a nuisance to find the next thing every few years. It was a nice way to just grab a single rom to apply a romhack or something.

I've downloaded tons of games from Myrient.
>buuuh buuh you didn't download all of them so you're just a fucking larper!!

I hate this fucking place.

unironically, even in this moment you choose to cry about the website getting shut down instead of working on getitng what you want before it's gone in a month
terminally retarded, you deserve nothing

They're cheap because they sell your data and will absolutely rat you out to companies if you're torrenting something. Mullvad is fine though.

How do you know I'm not downloading something while I post, retard?

People use catbox to serve pngs and webms too large for 4chan, whereas people will run a script to download 3TB of PS2 games from myrient because they can't find the 1.0 version of Barbie's Horse Adventure (PAL) in their downloads folder.

>>733898904
They're typically $20 a month and very few refuse any requests for your data.

>>733891130
I don't pirate because if it's not worth paying the asked price for I don't fucking want it.
Like what the FUCK are you all actually pirating, I want to know. Like I mean I wasn't going to play slop like highguard whether I had to pay the entry fee or not. I just don't get it

Reminder that you can help preservation by submitting dump metadata to Redump (optical media) and No-Intro (cartridges and digital downloads, including DRM-free PC releases).
https://dumping.guide/
http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping_Guides

For the record, this infograph (back from 2022) is not about missing official releases for those consoles. All of them were dumped. It's meant to indicate how many got a single dump, and how many got 2 or more.

>what drives do I need to dump CD games?
http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Optical_Disc_Drive_Compatibility:_CD
For PS2 and PC DVD games, any DVD drive will work fine.
>why are verifications important?
>Verifications are vital in verifying that the information in the database is accurate, and that a dump is reproduceable by another person using the same tools and methods. An existing dump could be erroneous due to a variety of factors, including user error, hardware and software issues, and more. Furthermore, even when someone is doing everything correctly and has adequate software and hardware, there is a chance that their dump could be incorrect, due to the way data sectors on a disc are read and validated (especially Compact Discs). In most cases, the data will be read and verified successfully, but the process of reading data is not infallible, so there are times when a second dump of the same disc could provide differing information. Verifications help to identify and correct some of these issues.

The software used for this purposes is MPF (Windows-only), which serves as a frontend for DIC and Redumper (and Aaru too).
https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest
You can also use their standalone versions (ALSO available for Mac and Linux):

You are incredibly out of touch with modern internet and the current generation if you think this.

Zoomers are incredibly tech illiterate despite being surrounded by it in every facet of their lives. They're also extremely lazy and sedated to the point they do absolutely nothing other than occasionally post something on twitter.

There will be no other Myrient.

Nigga, just get a best of list and download the shit you are realistically ever gonna be interested in playing.

But why do you WANT the shit you're pirating? It's shit

AI is slop but it's funny it makes bad artists seethe because it can generate garbage worth more than anything you'd see on tumblr
if you were worth anything as an artist you could pick up a pencil or brush and people would pay for your physical work, not your digital aids with infinite undos, the photographers of the digital art field, they're lucky to have lasted this long
>>
>>733899805
I've been finishing one game a day for the past 5 years. Mostly shitty small hacks/homebrews with the occasional full SNES/NES game.

>>733899895

vns arent games btw, go ahead

>>733899803
There are tons of Windows, Xbox 360, PS3, 3DS, and Wii U games and files that are nowhere else on the public facing internet.

>>733899943
If someone thinks AI is good enough then he's not going to pay an artist, and the better the artist is the more it's going to cost.
>>
>>733899789
Then why isn't it worth buying? I don't understand
I live out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere where there's cool handmade shit in markets like this big ornamental metal butterfly I got one time for like $30, but if people don't buy it they won't keep trying to sell it
And besides that I just can't rationalize wanting to waste time on something you didn't actually want enough to pay for it. I can't see a pirateable single player game as being good enough to spend time on, but not good enough to spend money on

Skill issue. Guy was already floundering before AI made him bite the curb.

>>733899154
>implying anyone's talking about pirating AAAA slop
Only third-worlders pirate the new shit since they're consoomers in all but finances, even if that means they play games on the minimum settings in 640x480 with 4 FPS.
The hot things to pirate for everyone else right now is the older shit, classic shit, retro shit, roms and Switch 1 games and such.
It's a smart thing to do, it's not like most of these companies (or the dev teams themselves) even exist in 2026, so there's no reason to pay for them unless it's some huge collector's item

Name one then. I'm never happy to see repositories go down but new ones will always crop up.
>>
>>733900024
I originally started pirating games because I didn't want to give money to people who hate me. I also used to buy music from Bandcamp until they started funneling money to antifa and BLM. These days I'm also very poor and can't afford to buy anything.

For old games it's almost always better to pirate them even if they're legally available somewhere.
>>
>>733899943
its kinda crazy how you can see AI fuck up everything else but assmonjeets just hate artists so much they want the world to burn

I never knew there were people that hated artists and the best 4chan moments were from artfags making high quality shitposts but suddenly when AI could make art, every seething jeet came out to say how art should be erased and replaced by robots

this world is fucking sick in the head for wanting everything to get worse/more expensive just to stick it to people who were partly responsible for making all of your favourite games. You'd think asmongold would appreciate the devs who made old Warcraft/WoW
