Emulation and unlicensed hardware to run old games has become so normalized, particularly among younger generations, that the concept of illegally operating a multicab probably didn't even cross the CEC buyer's mind. Not like a "oh yeah we can buy this illegal cab, nobody will ever know," but the concept of it being illegal didn't even occur to them. Even back in the 2000s I remember Dave & Busters having one of these jumbo UltraCade emucabs (apparently the founder of the company got in legal trouble).
