>collectors paid about $11,000 each for the last three known cabinets of an arcade game in existence
>for decades, they refused to let the ROM be copied for emulation
>if those cabinets gave out or were destroyed by accidents like fires, the game would LITERALLY be erased from existence forever, the source code is long gone
>they make people pay for tickets to attend their private arcades just to even TRY the game
>one of them hires a repairman for an unrelated cabinet
>the repairmen apparently pulled off a heist where he copied the rare game ROM for emulation, which would require specialized equipment not needed for repairs going unnoticed at the rare game for hours
>the ROM later appears on the internet
>the collectors panic, grow paranoid that one of the other collectors broke the pact they all had to not let this happen and fabricated the heist as an alibi
