it isn't, but if you think that a significant percentage of people playing switch games on pc emulators are doing so with copies of games they paid for then I have a bridge to sell you
There absolutely are a significant percentage that are using their own games and I know that for a fact.
It's not everybody, but the community of emulating current games is far more about getting a massively better experience than it is about piracy. The switch hardware is awful and massively limits their games.
If Nintendo made their games available on PC, emulation would drop massively.
So, about that bridge...
Cool, then you should be able to prove that fact, beyond a reasonable doubt, yeah?
