That’s fine and all. I agree that their actions are absurd. But the aim of this article seems to be to provoke more rage towards Nintendo for something that seems like pretty standard practice and completely misses the point of what people are mad about.
I mean, the problem isn’t emulation, it’s unauthorized emulation. They build emulators for older games on their own consoles.
My issue with Nintendo is that it’s not even clear it is illegal to emulate things, authorized or not.
We have some precedent which ruled it’s not, but no real call from an authority.
They use their legal team to bully the world even for emulation which is clearly not even harmful to them.
