From what I heard that when coders were going through a classic super mario game from the wii I store they found that the game had been ripped from an emulation website. This means at the Nintendo it was either more cost effective to download from a pirated gaming website or they had misplaced the og super mario game from snes. Not long after this event they ended up suing an emulation website for piracy.
So with gaming piracy becoming advanced to the point that Nintendo switch has an emulator. The entire gaming industry have been trying to combat it for a while and are still failing. As much as I understand that we can't afford to bye and experience every game to come out so having the option to play these games for free does help a lot of people out.
However I do feel that game creators need the money due to how many people are involved in game design. It's at the point where games aren't being made properly due to funds depleting and pressure C.O.O's or higher management to release games early and place unfinished content in the DLC section.
CURRENT SOLUTION these Netflix streaming styled game passes we are currently seeing are a way of capitalising on games that people are downloading for free such as older generation games that Xbox and playstation refused to include in backwards compatibility. This pay wall placed behind OG games doesn't really entice customers to go and purchase playstation or game pass due to it already being free and most emulators run games more smoothly than console game. Enhanced graphics options, increased GPs. What can these game developers do?
THE PREFECT SOLUTION: If you can't beat them join them. In order to defeat your competition you must either be providing a service that no one else can. This means the best option for console is offer the og games as part of their current online subscription fee, rather than an additional charge on top of the online charge of Nintendo online or ps plus. Of course online fee would go up. But people want to play online more than anything plus it creates an added incentive. So playstation should merge ps now with ps plus
