    It’s insane that Nintendo feels the need to go after the strugglers that play on emulator, despite their console being the most successful on the market, still selling like crazy after almost a decade, and with the successor being one of the most anticipated consoles ever. That line must go up, even if it’s just an inch more.

    Fuck Nintendo.

        It’s my understanding that the creator took a payout.

        AFAIK the only statement so far is “agreement” and that that can also mean a legally binding document to take down Ryujinx and never again develop Nintendo emulators or get sued to the moon and back, ie. “sign here or financial ruin”.

          Well it was my understanding it was a payout because the creator was from Brazil and Nintendo wouldn’t be able to go after him for like DMCA type route.

          Or something. I don’t exactly have my finger right on the pulse, I’m just repeating what I’ve read elsewhere.

            Old school suing about “aiding and abetting” piracy until the defendant has no money left to pay lawyers works pretty much all over the world.

              I mean, not really. There are definitely countries that don’t care about IP very much, even if they have laws on the book. This is why some piracy sites survive for years and years and years.
