Bit of a delayed reaction considering how fast they normally are, haha.
They're too late though, it's created a storm and being distributed

The video game industry really needs to wake up, There are thousands of games that are simply gone because greedy fat old men worship money, Tired of this copyright culture that the greedy fat seem to love.

1 of my all time favourite games is Skies of Arcadia that was originally on the Sega Saturn and then later on the Nintendo Gamecube, I either have to chance buying a copy from ebay, Which I have and it came scratched to hell unable to play, Or emulate it and download it from some source and risk being sent a fine by some shyster lawyer.

Video game archiving needs to become a proper practise.

deliberate

I suspect they were deliberatly slow to react, they wanted the game out there but have to be seen to protect their IP/Trademarks or lose them.

Emulators in themselves aren't illegal, though they are a bit of a grey area. Mostly seems to depend on how you get your roms. I'm no expert though.

This is why I think it's nice to see Microsoft working so hard to get backwards compatibility working on the Series X and sometimes make games even better with Xbox One X and Series X enhanced versions.

Yeah, then need to protect their IP or lose it. They can't let this be out there. They need to be seen as trying to protect their IP/copyrights/trademarks.
