This is pretty disastrous, the things Nintendo is suing over are things that apply to pretty much all emulators, it would be a very dangerous precedent to set if Nintendo were to win this one

And even if they don’t win, it’s still very shit that they’re even able to use lawsuits as a scare tactic, that they can ruin people’s lives even without needing to win

Also, daily reminder that “piracy equals lost sales” is nothing but corporate propaganda, often it’s the opposite actually:

      It really sucks how often pirates have to resort to emulating inferior Switch versions because the PC versions have uncracked Denuvo
