This goes both ways. Why shouldn't I play the game the way I enjoy it? I've bought it. I've payed for their work. Have I no rights in this matter?

You have the rights you payed for and agreed to in the eula. Maybe some day you'll be a developer and understand how it feels to have the project you worked so hard on being made available online to play in a 'better' way from day 1. Paying for someones work doesn't mean you own their work to alter and distribute as you see fit.

There's a fine line between enthusiam and exploitation, making a brand new game available in an emulator and promoting it is closer to the latter.

I don't have a problem with emulators for old games and systems, yet I find this a very slippery slope and a bit disrespectful.

Wait a minute. I have most certainly NOT agreed to an eula when buying a video game. That's one. And second - when playing on an emulator you do not alter or distribute it in any way. Heck modding a game is a direct alteration. Let's ban mods then?
