This shit angers me so much. I know 10 years or less Nintendo will probably use the emulator to ship a remake a breath of the wild or some shit the same way the use current emulators to charge for their older games
It probably won’t make it to court because the devs cant afford it. Nintendo knows this which is what makes their actions basically bullying. They wouldn’t risk losing in court when they can bully projects into shutting down.
Perhaps but unless there's something different about Yuzu I don't understand, it would have to go against established precedent in the US. For example, I assume Yuzu isn't providing the BIOS so how could it be breaking the law? Reverse engineering (clean room) has always been legal because there's no copyright infringement of the software and thus how else would Nintendo be protected? Meta-copyright? A patent?
I think this is just them trying to screw Yuzu by making them not even attempt a fight in court. Will it stop it now? No. But perhaps Nintendo has a method that would stop Yuzu currently and is trying to kill them before they implement it.
Yeah I know but that's like blaming a copying machine for facilitating trade secrets because it copies the cipher text printed on paper. It doesn't decipher it. Someone still has to have the cipher key(s) but they're still blaming the copying machine.
If Nintendo can prove that Yuzu is “primarily designed” to give people access to official Nintendo Switch games and has no other real use, Yuzu would indeed be in trouble.
What if people just started making games for the Yuzu engine?
