@Kalmaro It really isn't. You forget that hundreds of carts were created, and the people who dumped those ROMs did so by dumping them from the carts and disks they themselves owned. So technically, your analogy doesn't hold at all or make any sense.
A more solid analogy would be that dumping roms is actually like, you bought the car, then you stripped it's guts out and put them out for public use.
Difference here is that stripping out said guts is done in the act of preserving the past, rather than selling the parts to be used by people who may need them.

Cause the main character and mech look suspiciously like Noa Izumi and the Ingram, specifically, Alphonse in-game.

@cleveland124 Having stake in the company isn't entirely the same as owning it.

@SethNintendo Nintendo didn't sell them, cause they were never owned by Nintendo. Having a partnership is not the same as owning the company.
