Stupid thing is, if they sold it, people would still buy it, even if it was easy to pirate.

Yes, fucking sell snes games built in a small emulator. Done. This is why I hate people going to "business school" they don't know how any one business actually works they just enshitify everything

There was the Snes mini a few years ago, that had a few select games on it. It was sold out everywhere instantly, to noone's surprise. No N64 mini ever made it to production, to everyone's surprise.
