Only 3 years ago really; I decided I had enough with modern vidya and wanted to go back and play older stuff. Went through the loops to get as much physical stuff as possible but just realized I'm only limiting myself by buying from resellers who upmarket 'retro' shit at 300% price value, and that by emulating I'll have access to games I never would have known about or reasonably obtained. It made me feel a bit gross at first cause it felt like I was disrespecting the devs by not 'properly' buying it, but then I figured I'm probably doing those devs a diservice by NOT playing their games and potentially getting other people to play it.

Also if the OG suppliers of said consoles aren't gonna support the consoles and games, then I shouldn't have to give them or some other schmuck who just wants to make a quick buck my cash.
