[QUOTE="Subtle Demise, post: 8376359, member: 216947"] I find it hard to believe that the $12 million covers only Nintendo-published games or games that they acquired the rights to. Just because the roms may have been on their platforms at one point 20-30 years ago does not mean that they own distirbution rights on those roms. I'd venture that many of those old ones are in licensing hell, meaning it's either difficult or impossible to track down who actually owns the copyright on them, due to things like closures and buyouts and name changes and shit. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the NES and SNES library is third-party, is it not? No way they are making $12 million on just first party games. Something is wrong with the math here. How are the values being calculated anyway? Second-hand collector's market? Because those prices are artificially inflated and really shouldn't be used in any court. [/QUOTE]
