Original Note:
Emulation is neither thievery nor piracy. Emulators are made for purposes like game preservation, and using old games on new systems. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console_emulator) The emulator in question likely had a lawsuit filed due to a Patreon page that gave early access to releases. This gained ~$29,560/month.
