I mean, its not like they're making any money off of those old machines anymore. Arcades have newer games now.. light guns, racing, DDR... you name it. But the old stuff just doesn't sell anymore. And who the hell, other than a collector, is going to buy an actual arcade machine? Those things are expensive! I believe the creators of the games should just let us play the ROMs legally after they reach a certain age, make money on their new games, and rest assured that millions of people are enjoying their work.
