Every time I hear Nintendo issues another C&D, I have a new emulator to download before they get forcibly taken down.

It's 100% the streisand effect.

"Oh you're whining about another small group of people passionate about your past games? Well let me pile onto your woes. Asshole."

I do not understand how one company can have so much dedication from fans while simultaneously despising them.

If YOU aren't going to offer a 100% obviously and clearly above board, legal, safe, option for games anymore, someone else WILL and you get absolutely nothing from it.

And I also don't understand why a company with no intention of ever selling something again still has the ability to sue people while claiming lost revenue. Get fucked, and stop bitching. It just makes me never want to buy Nintendo products ever again.

But that won't stop me from playing Nintendo products.

I tried to run suyu yesterday and found out that Nintendo actually succeeded in practically killing the development of yuzu and its' forks.

Suyu and sudachi are dead and torzu is hosted/developed by a single developer who admits they wont be able to properly keep on development.

It's reasonable, because apparently yuzu used Nintendo code from a devkit, which makes the whole codebase radioactive. But yeah: Nintendo actually succeeded in the end. :/

Ryujinx still exists so, besides android, switch emulation is still going.

I know. But they targeted yuzu and successfully killed it. (because some of the devs supposedly did extremely stupid things)
