Fuck Nintendo.
Any info on what exactly the dev got out of the deal? Huge sum of money? Big titty waifu? Unreleased version of Smash with Waluigi?
Likely not getting his life destroyed by a lawsuit
It would be sad if that’s what Nintendo convinced him into believing, because as the article points out, there’s legal precedent for emulators
Ryujinx did everything right and legal. Let’s see how Nintendo supporters try to justify this one.
Entire history of video games shows that when piracy is on decline, ripoffs intensify.
my theory is that this will harden the next generation of nintendo emulator devs to be more anonymous and uncontactable.
i also suspect that nintendo has only delayed switch 2 emulation which is probably really close to switch 1 and can be trivially emulated relatively speaking.
i do think they’re going to partner with denuvo though which with make piracy harder, but i think the switch will also be cracked.
