[QUOTE="wolffangalchemist, post: 10204286, member: 144139"] well.. if i must explain... in this case it's the risk of access being taken away by M$ for what you are now paying for, give dev's money if you like the apps and programs they make that isn't the issue here. and if these are open source projects from multiple dev's.. i doubt this is getting distributed between them, probably going to someone simply packaging them. just donate directly to the emulator dev's so you know the right people get to spend the money on coffee. as a long time supporter of free open source software who has made donations to people who do good work, i can say morally it is wrong to obligate anyone to pay for acess to open sounce software to even use it in the first place. make a close source app from scratch and sell it, no issues with that. this simply put isn't ok, right, or a good thing to start trending. ah yes me being 33 and entitled for not giving money to others who aren't even the original dev's of the emulators and the fact you could lose access to the software you are now paying for that was before completely free. what i said was apparently interpreted wrong and partially overlooked. again if you feel a open source dev deserves some pocket money donate to them directly. also most dev's don't obligate donations in the first place for access to the software this is a obligatory $2 to get access to open source projects and that's very wrong from a morality stand point. being entitled and not paying for open source software are not the same thing. if this was a closed source project all around built from the ground up yeah.. sure... pay for it...

Kinda cool, I can buy a second Xbox for guests, and download all my purchased digital games to it, and play on both xboxs same time. Didn't know they allowed that. 2 xboxs per Xbox account.
