Godamnit they don’t LOSE money, because they were never going to get it in the first place! As the original comic states, since you can’t buy the old games from Nintendo at all in any capacity, and there literally isn’t a method to pay Nintendo for the game, then they didn’t fucking lose money. Gamers are the dumbest fucking people I swear to god, like clearly the original creator recognizes how dogshit capitalism is, and describes it in detail, but then continues to peddle corporate bullshit. Fucking hell that shits bleak
That is possibly what is the most so fucking rage inducing to me. Software/games have largely moved to a mostly unspoken rule of you don't actually own the game, you license it. Well then, motherfuckers, that license should extend to any version of the game I'm tryin to run, regardless of format!
And don't get me started on my entire steam library being unavailable for sharing if I'm playing a single game in the library.
Honestly, I believe anything 30+ years old should basically become a public asset. Like, nintendo could keep Mario as his stewards or whatever, but the individual games should basically be freely available if they're that old, they've already made their money.

LOL, steamboat willy is about to hit the public domain in 2024 after 96 years.
