This made me think, I wonder if the second hand market for games in Japan is reasonably priced? I could see piracy not being a really valid option if a used game and a console are just chump change. Unlike here in the west where retro game scalpers want $150 for a fucking ps2.

    Well, yeah, you can walk into Beep and get anything for a couple bucks, but this is all fake and people who make easily-translated Japanese tweets at 3 AM in Japan don't represent the Japanese attitude towards piracy. I've downloaded a lot of stuff through Japanese-only piracy programs.

    As far as I know it is much better over there in that regard, but that's mostly because the Japanese really takes physical media preservation seriously, which on one side is cool, but on the other they also are extremely anti-piracy which I just don't get.
