I totally agree with Beej regarding the whole emulation thing that there's nuance and ultimately it's a personal decision everyone needs to make for themselves, and no one is entitled to copies of a game no matter how much they want to play it or how long ago that game's production run ended. That said, if the only options to play a game are an exorbitant amount of money on eBay or AliExpress or Facebook Marketplace or something like that, somehow find a second-hand copy a friend owns to borrow, or emulate it? I have zero issue personally just emulating it. It's not a sale through a retailer like Gamestop or Walmart or Amazon or through in this context the Nintendo eShop that I'm depriving the developer and producer some money from. It's an enormously inflated resale price for an already used copy of the game that's only that expensive because it's old and most people who own it aren't reselling in the first place. It's not a copy of the game I was going to be buying regardless, so no "sale" has been lost even theoretically, and even if I had bought one the original developer and the producer and retailer that copy was bought from are seeing none of that money in the first place.

Minor note on the dolphin and nintendo bit... Valve might not have had any LEGAL liability. But in the interests of good relationships with one of the biggest developers around...I can see why someone thought it was a good idea to ask. Problem being, the moment they asked, they couldn't stop. Sure, they could then have ignored the email, but ignoring an email like that is just asking for trouble. Likewise, Nintendo HAD to respond that way, because they were being specifically checked with. Nintendo absolutely DID know about dolphin and had been happily quietly ignoring it for ages. They do that a lot of the time, to be honest. So many other fan games get cancelled or cease and desisted before release, but am2r got out the door. Pokemon infinite fusion is blowing up shorts widely enough, but is still going too. So yeah, valve bad, nintendo good. But also, real curious exactly which poor person sent that email, because I would bet they really didnt foresee any of this.

@@stevethepocket Got your context mixed up. We're talking about commercial game products made by companies that have been out of sale for years. Emulating old console games. Because the companies arbitrarily restrict access they can't be played. "actually buy it" - "public content even if its free you don't own a copy of it" Content posted publicly is licensed publicly and everyone can access and retain the media legitimately. It's not gated by DRM that destroys the media once a server gets shut down, presumably. It isn't that nobody owns a copy, everyone that downloads it owns a copy. "so by your rules it can't be copyrighted" You forgot the rest of that sentence is "not lease access to a live service" that would end up dying. That's the point of that statement. Bought goods that self-destruct are bad. A license to the media itself, be it public or commercial, constitutes ownership. A lease to a service to access media is not ownership, and drm that eventually fails means it breaks whatever function the product has whether owned or not.

On the emulation thing, regarding Beej's "Well what I if I don' thave a NES?" Nintendo has allowed all their old hardware patents to lapse, and functional hardware clones are pretty damn common. Local game store has a whole shelf of the things, playing damn near every cartridge based system. These are in much cleaner legal territory because they're using hardware that the patent has expired on, and thus any yahoo with the knowhow can make, and still require the original cartridge. Note that if you have the cartridge in your house, the ROMs get much less legally questionable because of how that whole thing is set up. That said. If Nintendo has made it impossible to legally acquire the thing from them. Not from some collector on ebay, not from some pawn shop scenario, but FROM NINTENDO, my feelings on it are that me buying it second hand has the SAME impact to Nintendo's bottom line as me pirating it, or not buying it at all. Also, there is so much functional abandonware out there (either because it's literal abandonware and NOBODY owns the rights to it anymore or because the actual rights holder has no interest in making it available on any platform or in otherwise utilizing the IP) that Emulation projects do serve a serious good. But I think Graham and Beej are both right that it's important not to confuse "morally correct" with "legal" and it's important to be aware of the difference. To go to an example that has NOTHING to do with video games, not even allegorically, if a woman steals baby formula, what she's doing may be morally defensible, but it's still not LEGAL. Also, Bobby, if there was never any merit to the accusations, do all of those senior developers and executives you let go have grounds for a Wrongful termination suit?
