Stop whining. You could've easily made the point about legacy games without even bringing up the pirated roms. So you already set the course in the OP and undermined your own argument by conflating it with piracy.

How is that shortsightedness?

Agreed. The rumors say have not full agreement, and some Nintendo devs and teams want Virtual Console back. 

I love virtual Console and want one system where you can migrate for the new system and migrate entirely Virtual Console library. 

Hey, I am with you, that Nintendo doesn't do well with their legacy games. But that doesn't mean I put that down at that they sued this ROM-site.

You don't even know how much profit they made with VC and how much they're making now with NSO.

You continue to amaze me.  You have it literally backwards.

VC=short term (one time sale)

Subscription=long term (continous revenue)

Take an economics class, seriously 

26,000,000 members for Nintendo online.

$20 a year is $520,000,000 a year in CONTINUED revenue....  and growing

Again I loathe subscriptions, but it is a highly profitable long term flow of cash.  Sony makes a killing from PSN.  I get why they do it.  

I don't know why it has taken this many decades for you guys to final realise something is wrong with the way Nintendo treats you.

Nintendo innovation strikes again.

Nintendo ‘treats’ me just fine. Whatever that means anyway; they don’t know me. But that's because I only buy what I actually want and don't feel obligated or entitled to do/get/subscribe to anything myself.

Totally this, the heck DitchPlaya talking about? so many decades took us to notice how Nintendo treats us?, Nintendo has for the most part offered quality products including games and consoles that have become classics even if they had some trips along the way, and up until the wii, online wasn't something as prevalent as it is now, people clearly also didn't buy enough from that virtual console, no one i knew buyed from it for example, so they scrapped the idea along with others like having a bigger OS and having apps for netflix, crunchyroll and other services, and now they seem to be mostly focussing on the current games for the system itself, i also have greatly enjoyed the offerings from other companies in PC, Mac, SEGA, Arcades, PS and Xbox consoles etc., but i think the problem some people have here is thinking that "everyone should offer the same things", like all main console manufacturers should go the "super powerfull last tech console" even if they are having loses and selling it bellow the production costs, or "everyone should have the same online services", and while i agree to some extent that they could have some way to offer their old games, they aren't obligated to do anything in particular, and as S.Peelman says, i'm not obligated to buy something if don't like it and because i also "don't feel obligated or entitled to", that "i'm offended because someone/something did something i didn't like or something i wanted wasn't offered", and therefore it's bad and it should be ruined herd mentality must end.

Why is a price parity per system a good thing?

Why should a mediocre game for system x cost the same as a good game? Why should a good game for system x cost the same as a great game?

Why should a short game for system x cost the same as a long game for system x?

Why should an unpopular game for system x cost the same as a popular game for system x?
