    These assholes can’t seem to grasp that emulation is the only reason their old games are still popular.

      But they don’t care, do they ? It’s better for them if you stop playing the old game and buy the 1234th remake of Mario at full price on Switch

        They don’t do that. They have re-releases that are available for purchase for a month before they’re gone, and then they rent you the old emulated games forever, on worse emulators, with no option to buy them.

      Particularly with the modding scene. You can’t exactly do a randomiser with the cartridge.
