I am aware of all this. This is why I said that depending on the box it can be either total garbage or "ok". At this point any emulation is always going to be easier.

None of these corporations are going to have their CEO / CTO / CFO go to Jail, face the huge fines or get kicked out of the UK for you. 4chan, KiwiFarms etc. can stick a middle finger up at the UK because tbh they probably don&#x2

No not really. I've worked with good teams and you would be amazed at how easy it is, even with iffy tech stacks. Stuff even get documented properly.

I was playing RE9 at 4K on my Debian 13 last weekend. The vast majority of games work, even some live service games. 5 years ago you would face significant issues, today that simply isn't the case.
