Why didn’t you say profits?
The game developers didn’t lose their right through emulation.
And how much profit they lose is to debate because the film industry claimed the same with billions of damage as if every pirated copy would have been as sold copy without piracy.
Too bad a study of the EU showed otherwise.

They're clearly only worried about profits when the purpose of copyright is not to enforce profits but to promote the creation of new works.
