"NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy. Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.

Notes 1 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom downloaded prior to game's release; says Yuzu's Patreon support doubled during that time. Basically arguing that that is proof that Yuzu's business model helps piracy flourish."

Why?

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 8 months ago

Coz they're assholes.

sues emulator-devs - but puts old roms onto their own products (mini nintendo etc. contained roms that "pirates" had distributed online for years)

never lowers the prices of their games

sues everyone left and right - like Palworld-developers

They issue takedowns on youtube channels for including nintendo game-music or gameplay

and probably more reasons

They didn't sue Palworld's creators, but that's the exception to the norm.

This is an excellent comment! All these haters up in here but seldom few list why. I think it's because their arguments wouldn't hold up, so they don't voice them. Just pure rage (useless)

Funny how OP just explained above you, and id wager a good chunk of us feel the way he does. The real question is, why would you condone their actions?

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I don't condone anything necessary. What I do do is I buy their games, play them on their systems, and have fun. I see you guys in here talking about pirating their games, not having fun, and not buying shit. What, I should condone that?! Get out of here.

This is a thread about Nintendo suing a completely legal Emulator. I do believe you're the one who should "get out of here", if you're going to say Nintendo has every right to do this, when everyone else here disagrees.

OP of the comment I replied to explained nothing. So I don't know what you're talking about, unless you're just making stuff up. Their comment was nothing but pure rage, and it got a lot of support, much of which couldn't explain their rage either.

Edit: I see a comment above mine, but when I made my reply there were no other comments. Same time.

If you have more than a couple of neurons you don't need me to explain why I hate Nintendo, unless you're a corporate bootlicker who thinks Nintendo can do no wrong. If you really can't fathom why anyone would hate them, then all you gotta do is Google "Nintendo anticonsumer" and you'll have reading material for the whole week.
