> That ruling cites the belief of the Entertainment Software Association and other industry lobby groups that "there would be a significant risk that preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes."

I have an RPi which has over 10k games from my youth. I play those games, some arcade, some from early consoles when I want to play those games. Just like sometimes you want to listen to music from when you were a teen.

I also have many consoles and games which I will hook up to my TV when I want to play those games - SSX Tricky anyone?

I have a PC and a Steamdeck with almost 9k licenses to play games.

So what do the ESA want?

Kill off music older than x years? KIll off games older than x years? (MAME would like a word there)

The ESA argument - as quoted above - is bullshit.
