Piracy and mods. So many gamecube/n64 games are getting modded updates by fans like Smash Remix and Mario 64 mods. Kirby Air Ride and gamecube Animal Crossing have some mods in development right now by fans, and with fans you don't have to worry about some microtransaction loop or grinding bullshit that is only there so you can pay to skip it. Players building for players. This is the philosophy that people spout when praising indie games, and by and large that's pretty true for many of the golden ones.
