Cheers for the detailed explanation, although this just goes to show that the comparison isn't at all applicable here, because nobody wants to buy games that are buggy messes, whereas people who care about the looks of the discontinued cosmetics wouldn't mind alternative versions, as long as they'd stay true to the originals. Those who wouldn't accept such versions are people who want those cosmetics for their status/the sake of wanting them (or in other words equality, not wanting others to have something you don't).

Also to add a bit here, I generally agree with this, but I'd also say that the real problem is when people desire to ruin games for their original audience by trying to make the game appeal to an audience that it wasn't designed for. Currently, there exist many more games which let you just skip playing/give you plenty of handouts, than there are games in which you gotta work for everything and sometimes you may never be able to get something in the game (because it's either too hard some, or the opportunity has passed, or only X(%) amount of people can have it etc).

Runescape is meant to be the latter, and the audience of the former has been trying to convert it to the former. If people chose the games designed for them and the game developers didn't try to milk everyone, I doubt either side would have an issue with either existing.
