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.
My mom bought super mario brothers 3 like 30 years ago you bastards. You already have the money!

LOL, steamboat willy is about to hit the public domain in 2024 after 96 years.
I'll bet you it won't
