Well, here we go. Nintendo have formally filed a lawsuit against the creators of the popular open source Switch emulator yuzu.

    Nintendo give an example in their complaint with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom saying that it was “unlawfully distributed a week and a half before its release by Nintendo” and that copies of it were “successfully downloaded from pirate websites over one million times before the game was published and made available for lawful purchase by Nintendo”.

    Back when I was on that shithole other link aggregation website, I said this would happen because people couldn’t wait 7 more days for the public release before bragging about emulating TotK and sharing the ROM around.

    Now, we all risk Yuzu stopping development because of it. Foresight is 20/20.
