    Emulation doesn’t even solve those server issues though. At most, it will solve the hardware gap where a console won’t let you run a disc - but I can’t think of any times that has happened on modern consoles.

    If I buy a singleplayer game on digital, I’d actually generally expect that copy to last longer than if I bought it physically. At worst, someone might hack into my account, but 2FA systems have made that less common.

      ??? You just emulate the servers…like eldorito halo did or private MMO servers do. Did you think star wars galaxies still exists because Sony propped it up? No it was the users reverse engineering it and emulation.

        Ah, sorry; my mind first went to console hardware emulation. Server emulation has been great when we manage it, I just don’t know if it’s always viable.

        Often the developers couldn’t even share server programs if they wanted to if there’s some software license in there they don’t have free distribution permissions for.
