Wasn't Microsoft just talking about how important game preservation was to them?
Its important for them to preserve any chance of profit that may be squeezed from old games.
Ah yes, the Nintendo method of preservation.
I have a script endlessly deleting and downloading BOTW on repeat so Nintendo experiences thousands of lost sales every few days.
Dude, download it from yourself, you will make it to tens of thousands!
I mean......those aren't lost sales exactly......but I'm sure Nintendo still doesn't like it.

(Context: Most companies including Nintendo claim that any act of piracy is a lost sale, which is completely a lie)
There's a very crucial fact you're forgetting about corporations who say they care about anything. They're liars and only care about money.
I guess that must be why I can't buy the Black & White games or Fable 2. Because Microsoft cares so much about preserving the awkward legal Loop some of their Lionhead Games are in.
"No, not like that!"
It could be them getting ready to push a wc1 and 2 remake. Hopefully more of a D2 than a WC3...
