And the video games industry can give a single fuck less about preserving them. Only bringing them back for a limited time under reselling compilations or as we've seen, those small consoles a few years back where only a hand picked library of games were pre-installed on them. They're only brought out to simply make a quick buck, nothing more.

You mean that this company is reselling their original product on a x86 Linux system with a emulator? Which are actually pre-installed ripped ROMs on them?

Since yes, that actually happened.
