Scummy, yes. But are they competent enough for that? At underhanded public relations specifically? I feel like, if they ever listened to the sort of manipulator who'd suggest this, they'd stop strangling fan projects in the first place. Yuzu and maybe Palworld might plausibly have impacted their immense revenue, but there's a pattern of hyperactive iron-fisted legal horseshit that's gone on for decades.

Fuck - you're right, they aren't.

Nevermind my conjecture then, it's probably as you said.
