They don't even "lose money" in either scenario. They just don't make new money.

Businesses consider those the same thing unfortunately :/

I'd argue they consider not making new money worse, losing money means tax write offs.

The argument is the suppression of titles is to control the brand. Its indirect nonsense.

I used copies of old Nintendo games and they don't get a single cut. I don't see them shutting down those stores that sell them. Fuck Nintendo greed.
