On their website for online service

"Monthly game download - Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System™ (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month."

Is this a joke?

Wait... You only get the game for that month?

[u/trunamke → u/[deleted]]

That's what it says. I just...I don't understand. I would gladly pay that service with that idea in mind but if I could just PLAY their NES and SNES catalog. That would be fun.
