It is crucial to be explicit: Distributing or downloading Lost Life via repack is not a victimless act. While the game is fictional, the subject matter falls under most Western countries’ laws regarding "obscene content" and, in some interpretations, "simulated child exploitation material." In the UK, the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 criminalizes extreme pornographic images, including fictional depictions. Similar laws exist in Canada, Australia, and Germany.
