Normies ruin everything
Everyone has known about Vimm's forever, it was the first result on Google for a very long time. It's not that "normies" ruined it, Nintendo is just now deciding to take aim for whatever reason
Established in 1997, Vimm’s Lair has been a popular place for folks to download classic video games that originated on a wide array of platforms, including N64, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, and Atari 260. Many of these games can’t be bought in stores or found in digital marketplaces, making Vimm’s Lair a useful place for those looking to check out pieces of video game history. However, Apple’s recent decision to allow emulators on the App Store has seen a massive influx of people looking for classic roms, and it seems all this attention has put Vimm’s Lair in lawyers’ spotlights.
Is the speculation of this site, but also aligns well with Nintendo taking aim at emulators
I saw an article earlier today speculating that the iOS emulator might have raised the awareness drawing the eye of Nintendo, Sega, and others.
Edit - Ha! It was this article.
No, copyright law ruins everything.
