Wait. People ask money for emulators? Haven't they learned from bleem?

What exactly? If anything, the Bleem case showed that emulation, even for profit, is legal. Their problem was that they went bankrupt during the legal battle (due to the costs of said legal battle).

It proves it's expensive. Too expensive to keep up. Especially going against one of the big 3.

That I agree with. Part of me wishes that some team which expects a lengthy legal battle would take over development just to force an actual court case from start to and. Would also be preferable if it's not US based.
