That's what happened to yuzu

[-] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 14 points 5 months ago

What happened to Yuzu was that they were making $20,000-$30,000 in monthly revenue, for an emulator that would “technically” be competing with the current hardware.

Thats where they fucked up, in my opinion.

I mean, yes the yuzu team did have problems with the money scheme and openly playing games before their release, but the fact that even forks by people who had no connection to the devs got taken down shows that Nintendo can take down any project they want, regardless of if it contains proprietary code

You can't take down a project you're not trying to control.

Imagine I post a pic of Scarlett Johanson's lovely bits and Nintendo doesn't like that. Nintendo doesn't know me and Nintendo can't take it out of everyone's computers. Now imagine I do the same with some software. What's Nintendo gonna do?

They can still force platforms to delete the stuff or go to a judge and get them to force platforms to take down stuff. They can't get it from your computer, but itlf its posted online it can be taken down.

Yes. I see your point. :/

Not exactly. A big reason for them being sued is for circumventing Switch’s encryption.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Which is still legal. It's just the flimsy excuse they used to file the lawsuit, and the Yuzu debs didn't have the energy/money to fight it

*in some jurisdictions.

That doesn't mean they used proprietary code. The keys were supplied by the users
