Its important for them to preserve any chance of profit that may be squeezed from old games.

I have a script endlessly deleting and downloading BOTW on repeat so Nintendo experiences thousands of lost sales every few days.

Dude, download it from yourself, you will make it to tens of thousands!

I mean......those aren't lost sales exactly......but I'm sure Nintendo still doesn't like it.
