How do video game emulators not break copyright laws?

310 views

I recently saw an article about how people are racing to perfect Tears of the Kingdom emulator.

I know Breath of the Wild has been emulated for awhile and there’s entire consoles worth of games being emulated. How and why do companies allow this?

Is it because they don’t expect to make any more money on a Dreamcast or GameCube game from 20 years ago so they just allow it?

What about when they remaster the game?

They do. But most emulators I’ve seen are free so the owners of said games most likely don’t even care to shut it down since they aren’t even doing it for profit
