Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Or overcompensation since they acted on emulators and found out there's more to this? Someone's started another useless crusade.

I fear they're not going to stop here either. Soon we'll read news about Minecraft mods and other fan content as well. Backup everything.

The emulator is more likely that the Switch 2 was supposed to be released this year and ended up getting pushed to next year. This means they have to support the Switch fully for another year and it's a harder sell when it's easy for customers to make a choice between:

A Switch and 3ish games

A Steam Deck that can play all the Switch games for free

When these are both the same price. The fact that instructions were easy to find and follow didn't help.

Solution is simple. Sell their fucking games on Steam.
