This Community : but but but. I only use emulators to play my backed up cartridges I’ve never pirated one game before.
Pirating Nintendo games is a good deed. Everyone should be proud of it.
Nintendo could make fucking bank if it was easier to actually pay them to play their old games. They have no leg to stand on since I can’t.
It boggles my mind that they aren’t just packaging up old games into an exe and posting them one by one on Steam. Its free money.
They’re not stupid, they’re manipulative. In my experience, that’s always the case in situations like these.
They could literally just sell ROM files, bring your own emulator
If I ever get sued by nintendo for some reason I’m making a large part of my case to try and convince investors how much money they could make having games available on pc, I doubt I could win a lawsuit but I will do my best to be a seed that changes your company forever
