Here's the thing: they hardly port over enough games from their old libraries at once/in large quantities, and they also grossly overcharge for them too. They didn't release nearly enough old games and at competitive prices with the Wii U, and they were perfectly capable of doing so. They just didn't. If they did that and sold them for cheap/what those games are worth NOW, then they'd be making a whole lot more money than simply trying to issue costly legal threats to stamp down on them 'competition.'
If the only source/place you can get + play some old games conveniently now in days is by using ROMs and Emulators, and the Game Publishers can't/won't re-release those games at reasonable price, then what is the average person to do but use ROMs and Emulators, or just not be able to play those games? Nobody wins if ROMs are straight up taken off the internet without being replaced, not even corporations since they weren't profiting on all those old un-re-released games anyway.
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.
