The phrase refers to the action of acquiring a digital copy of the video game “RoboCop: Rogue City” specifically for the PlayStation 5 console, in a format suitable for use as a Read-Only Memory (ROM) image, followed by the process of retrieving this digital file. This activity typically implies obtaining the game outside of authorized distribution channels.
The pursuit of such files is often driven by the desire to bypass purchasing the game legally. Historically, the sharing of ROM images was primarily associated with older, retro games, often seen as a form of preservation. However, the application of this practice to current-generation titles introduces significant ethical and legal considerations, as it infringes upon copyright laws and potentially undermines the game developer’s revenue streams.
