Well, Nintendo has gone full mask off. Guess I won't be purchasing Princess Peach Showtime after all, you dumbasses.
"For good measure, Nintendo also complained about Yuzu spoiling Tears of the Kingdom, saying that because of the prevalance of emulators, "many fans of The Legend of Zelda were forced to avoid social media to prevent seeing spoilers and preserve their surprise and delight for the actual game release."
People could have just as easily used their hacked Switches to do this. Yuzu has no bearing on whether or not TotK footage would be leaked.
FUCK NINTENDO 🏴☠️ They have been on a spree of shitting on people over the past year.
There's no way they win this case, right? Sony has tried and failed TWICE. The goal is not to win the case though, the goal is to do monetary damage and send a message to everyone working on emulators that they are willing to do monetary damage even if they lose a case. Which just goes to show how broken the legal system is as well.
@Zergling_man wdym? nintendo doesn't like emulators but they've done nothing from a legal standpoint to get rid of them. the most they have done is likely twist valve's arm into not allowing dolphin on their storefront.
@Zergling_man every handful of years they shut down some piracy service.
but emulation isn't piracy. you can use it FOR piracy, but you can also use a switch for piracy.
the main thing they are mad about, it seems, is that a million people pirated tears of the kingdom before it released and spoiled the game for everyone else on social media. of course that alone wouldn't be enough to implicate yuzu, so they talk about how yuzu uses the switch's decryption keys to circumvent the security placed on these games. this is further evidenced by their takedown of lockpick RCM i think last year, which was the homebrew app for the switch that let you dump those decryption keys.
however, you still need your own copy of the keys from your own switch, legally. nintendo seems to think that simply using the keys taken from the switch to circumvent the security of the games is illegal. but they dress up the rest of their suit with claims about how emulation is piracy and all of that bullshit as well.
my point, and hopefully yuzu's lawyer's point if they get a good one, is that if you are technically required to own both a switch and a copy of the game you wish to play if you are going to be playing it on an emulator, then it isn't the emulator's issue... it's the issue of whoever is distributing those to people who have not purchased them.
