There is absolutely no legitimate reason why emulation should be morally wrong, as it has been proven many times not to significantly impact sales. However, it makes some rich people and their working-class simps very mad, so I guess our hands are tied.

@Metaright It's not the emulation that's the problem, but distributing the games and firmware has copyright issues. And that is why its in danger for the future. Many games are not available to purchase and the only way to play them is through piracy. Many people are not willing to do piracy.
