I think these kind of things will bring problems.

Because Nint€ndo or $ony (and others game companies) have a big problem, their old games are awesome and if the people can play these games, then the people will be happy and will not need new games or new sagas.

Because the problem is not the people playing old games, the real problem is the people will not pay for new games

And we know that these companies have army of lawyers (and "envelopes" to distribute among politicians) to change the laws and make illegal something that is not illegal.

I have very little sympathy for these companies. They make access to these titles difficult if not impossible. Preservation matters and they have no interest in anything but the bottom line today.

It’s interesting, because they could potentially make millions, if not billions by selling access to them as a subscription.
