I am all for purchasing or licensing content that I enjoy. 100%. But that assumes the content owner is willing to take my money. I have no sympathy for people who refuse to let me give them my money who then turn around and cry “noooooooo, piracy is ruining us!!!”.
Yes let me buy a DRM free file download I can use on any of my devices for a reasonable price and I’ll give you my money… Unfortunately only piracy offers that currently. (Except books and games, which I do pay for).
I don’t know how the music industry figured it out. They have like six different licensing agencies, but somehow Spotify has all the music I want in one place.
Meanwhile on video side, every single content creator wants their own distribution channel.
I love this.

Basically Nintendo
Pretty much. All I want is to be able to pay money to legally download old Nintendo games as simple ROM files, is that too much to ask?
Nintendo Exec: Yes.
