When a copyright holder makes something that was for public sale no longer available, it is not morally reprehensible to find other ways to access it. Once you publish art to the world, you don't get to take it back.
You’re right, I should specify. I’m thinking more in terms of flagship games. Mario has always been big and adaptive over game generations, but there have been a lot of different stretches of time where other major Nintendo games felt miles behind contemporary titles on other platforms, if they were made at all. Recent years have been a lot better, and there have been performance improvements. I guess you could say it is an extension of the IP issue, with titles going through a sort of dark stretch. Starfox, Metroid, and even Legend of Zelda have had that. Innovation was the wrong word to pick.
The first argument is not true. Tencent is one of the top 3 largest video game publisher in the world both by net worth and by revenue. It may not have its own console but it's definitely on par with Microsoft and Sony when it comes to the gaming market.
That said, I'm not a fan of @Whiskeyomega 's framing "but Microsoft has to face a massive battle when purchasing Activision/Blizzard" as if Microsoft is a poor little oppressed mom and pop shop, that if another megacorp behemoth gets to consolidate the market, it should too.
It would be better if Microsoft didn't get ActiBlizz, especially considering that it alone is another top 10 publisher with many studios under its umbrela. It would also be better if Tencent didn't get to acquire studio after studio, which should be brought up to the attention of European Union regulators.

@CosmicApe Offtopic: I have no idea what game this is, but this is (not literally) what Light Yagami said in Death Note, when he got the book and transformed into Kira.
