Nintendo is suing the developers of Switch emulator Yuzu
(files.catbox.moe)
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:
Emulation is not piracy
This is true but also it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games
It does very much bug me though how, unsurprisingly, there's plenty of people on reddit and Twitter acting like piracy is the only reason one would use Yuzu, as if it isn't such a huge value to be able to run games you paid for at a more playable framerate and better resolution than Nintendo's outdated hardware
Like, hell, Tears of the Kingdom having such awful performance drops on official hardware even compared to BotW is basically the big reason I haven't bothered picking it up
