What's funny is I have an SNES Classic which is enabled via emulation and did in fact pay nintendo. So it worked for them the fact that I'm willing to pay rather than try to rig up a working SNES. In my particular case, they're just hurting themselves. I'm willing to pay small dollars for an old game.
Of all the companies, they have been the best about at least offering most of their older games for purchase through their Online Stores or those little Classic consoles, even if the prices can be atrocious (and the lack of transfer from Wii to WiiU to Switch is insulting).
But that means that all of those emulators then become direct competition against them. Which makes it just business to try and stamp it, even if people hate them for doing it.
Still emulating them all anyway because yolo, ain't worth the effort to hook up most of the consoles or hope my aging games still function entirely. Plus mod capabilities.
