Extremely cool and impressive from a technical and cultural standpoint, is what I think.

Decomps, reverse engineering... extremely tedious and complex work, often maddening.

Also arguably illegal. Not that I... think that it should be, but it could become a problem.

I think if you're willing to wait 20+ years to play a particular video game you can have it for free.

I mean, generally speaking, you usually only have to wait a few months to play most video games for free.
