The PS2 market is unique. While Nintendo actively litigates against ROM sites to protect its legacy IP, Sony’s approach to the PS2 has been inconsistent. The launch of the PlayStation Classic and the implementation of PS2-to-PS4 trophy patches suggest an interest in monetization. However, the vast majority of the PS2 library remains commercially dormant. Google Drive archives fill a market vacuum left by the publisher, raising the question: does unauthorized distribution harm a market that does not exist?
