They probably know they'll lose. But they can drag Yuzu creators through court and bleed them dry in the process.

We should ban the practice of tying software to hardware, and the creation of arbitrary restrictions for such practices.

In my opinion there are a few legitimate cases for piracy and platform exclusives is one of them. And these pirates prove it's completely possible for Nintendo to make it available for sale on other platforms. If Nintendo doesn't make it available for sale, it should be a free-for-all. I don't want to buy a Switch. I don't want to buy an Xbox or a PS5. Not to mention paying the 30% Nintendo tax for the privilege of creating a game that actually runs on it. And I don't want to feed any of these megacorporations my telemetry. Fuck 'em.
