    I spent a sizable chunk of my childhood playing SNES games on emulators, it is thanks to both piracy and preservation I got to have the experience. I actually respected Nintendo back then and had a Wii with a small stash of retail games. Well, I still have the Wii but it’s softmodded and has a 16 GB SD card full of games and homebrew but since Iwata died so did my respect for Nintendo. Imagine paying for P2P multiplayer and near absence of cloud services.

    Nowadays I only get devices I can mod and customize by any means official or otherwise. If I wasn’t a full time student and I had enough money and time to spend I’d get an OLED Switch to mod and play all sorts of stuff, it could be a nifty tablet to both work and play with.

    None of these things above are possible without piracy.
