Who knows, like you said, scene groups, maybe people who just want Internet points and want to upload files, people who just want the convenience of novelty. Same, I've dumped my own switch games via USB so this seems very just novelty to me and maybe it's pick it up just to have it.

But yeah, gone are the days when you'd go rent a nes, snes games into floppies and needing a external dumping equipment so I don't really know who this device is for but it's interesting how many people are so defensive that you point out piracy device is mainly for piracy.
