Emulation

A hardware that permits PCs to mimic gaming console systems for games to be played on. There are many reasons for emulation. Firstly, it is worth investing in emulation to combat against greedy gaming publishers, who want to scam people with micro-transactions, overpriced retro and modern games, DLC, seasonal passes, pre-order bonuses, lack of content, etc. Secondly, gamers pirate games online because they are either poor or games are becoming too expensive in the market, similar to rip-off textbooks that costs about 1000 bucks in American universities and a lot of college students pirate textbooks for free in PDF form to reduce student debt. Thirdly, gaming publishers get careless when they throw away the gaming source code like what they did with the first 3 Crash games and they will only put a handful of retro games on their consoles to prevent gamers from playing any chosen games. To conclude this, emulation makes the gaming world less garbage, to cut down on runaway capitalism, to maintain creativity, and to cut down on corporate slavery.
Without video gaming emulation, retro games would have been lost forever. Gaming discs and cartridges can break down easily over time eventually, so you can't play your favorite Halo: Combat Evolved on the Xbox 360 or Chrono Trigger on the SNES when discs and cartridges freeze constantly. Besides, ROM games online can be downloaded/copied and deleted for unlimited number of times. Even if Nintendo threatened ROM uploaders with lawsuits to shut down a few ROM sites, such as Emuparadise and CoolRoms, there are other ROM sites, scattering everywhere on the internet. As long as the ROM community still lives, there will always be new sites popping up. The ROM community existed for a few decades. Gaming companies will never stop the technological progression of emulation on the internet.

If gaming companies want us to buy their modern games, then they should bring back demos of all games. Moreover, games should be way cheaper as 10-to-20 dollars, depending on the condition of the game. Games shouldn't have any micro-transactions, overpriced retro and modern games, DLC, seasonal passes, pre-order bonuses, lack of content, bugs/glitches, etc. Finally, all retro games that cost about 3 bucks or less, should be in stores to mix together with modern games to draw in more consumers, so it won't be so difficult to find them anymore in stores and there would be less pirating.

cycle inaccurate emulation of their religion

(From software emulators where the processor chip instructions were skipped if they weren't practical/necessary to be emulated)
1. The way any "nonstandard" religion operates today, when compared to back in the days of greco-roman or medieval europe times or the common stereotypes. A cycle accurate Aztec would capture people, sacrifice them to the Sun and eat them. To emulate the Aztecs today would require cycle innacurate emulation because cannibalism and human sacrifice is illegal. Likewise Satanists today are cycle inaccurate because they don't sacrifice goats. Wiccans today are cycle inaccurate because they don't hex their enemies or worship demons. Catholics are cycle inaccurate because they don't burn women at he stake anymore. Being cycle inaccurate is not necessarily a bad thing. The decision to be cycle inaccurate is because of practical and legal reasons.
There are probably people who call themselves Aztecs or Mayans, but that's cycle inaccurate emulation of their religion.
