Retrogames.biz coming up with a Spectrum replica on november 22.

You're gambling cause you think it's something useful or that you'll need but reality is those things get used once and then never again. They end up obsolete in like 3 seconds and just plastic trash. They're good for displaying in a background shelf in a youtube video to look cool as a content creator, after all no one can really see it's a fake spectrum from afar.

Big difference if you're buying an original release Spectrum because now you have a collector's item. This isn't a collector's item because tomorrow someone can make one and again, who cares. If someone sells you a fake pokemon card you're not willing to value it as high as a real pokemon card. So this thing already has basically no value other than the plastic, considering for how cheap it can be made.

As for why buy digital games when you could pirate them, primarily the reason for doing so is wanting to support those creating the works of art. Someone copying a zx spectrum, emulating it on a rasperry pi, which you can do in like 100 different ways, that's no work of art and the person you're supporting isn't likely the original creator or seeking to improve and innovate in the field, but rather to collect money from someone elses hard work. It would be the same as someone reselling Cyberpunk on a usb drive and you wanting to support the person doing so. Supporting the studio will help fund them to create more stories etc instead.

Now if you can't support because of a good reason I personally don't care, there's plenty of kids who have no money and can't get a job if they wanted to, to that degree I could care less if someone stole my game. But if you're a full grown adult who can work a job or has side income but refuses to spend on anything digital yet they overindulge in all the new games, all the new content, all the new stuff through piracy cause they can steal it all through some means then they're trash yes.

Also zx spectrum games are abandonware.
