Concerning Fangame design as a whole.

[Princess Peach]

Now, if we look at the stereotypical side of things, you often hear that making fangames like on this forum or emulation would technically be illegal and thus get your content shut down at best, and even if not you'd still be 'costing' them millions if not billions of dollars each year. However, as I've seen on several different sources, including YouTube, they mention that emulation allowed us to play games that we'd otherwise never get to play again, (and be able to freely do our own thing with the content at that), and allowed for more expansive content from their official sources or to keep something else of their's dead alive, and that (as far as I can make up from the sources) the money lost from them is minuscule and therefore can be ignored.

Now, concerning both sides: Official companies saying that fangame content does harm to them as a host source, and us that it's actually helped the source and did very little, if any, harm in return; although I am certainly on the fangame side and thus completely supportive of them, and that I'm pretty sure I know that we would be doing the right thing in those circumstances, I can't help but wonder at times why it would actually be right. Just curious.
