Nintendo's claim that emulation 'stifles innovation' isn't just absurd—it's hypocritical (www.pcgamer.com)

@Lowbird @Link To add to this, when Nintendo attacks emulators they even screw over folks that buy their games to show support and then play them via emulator for the benefits they provide over the original hardware.

Sure, that may be an exceedingly small number of folks, but I've personally done this with older titles simply 'cause emulation provides so much more flexibility. I'd do similar with other platforms' recent games if it was as viable (looking at you specific PS3/PS4 exclusives).
