While this is true and a big part of it, we can't deny there's a lot of people right now who would like to play currently active Mario and Zelda games for free.

While this is true and a big part of it, we can't deny there's a lot of people right now who would like to play currently active Mario and Zelda games for free. Because they're cheap, or they hate Nintendo, but not enough to not play their games. Nintendo, believe it or not, needs to make money. No money = no mario. And I like mario. And the seven seas likes mario, too. So that's not good for anyone. There's a middle ground here, but in terms of messaging such middle ground is severely lacking.
