> it's a huge savings over getting a human to do it

This of course assumes it's something anyone would consider worth paying a human to do (it's not).

That's not true, companies pay humanies to develop ports and remasters of software all the time. Maybe not from one dead platform to another, but the same technology can be used to take a game like this from a dead platform to a living one.

It was, 15+ years ago, when porting N64 games to 3DS was a lucrative market for hired guns. We have the magic 'port' button and this tech just showed how easy it is with severely different architectures & constraints.
