What worries me is they think they have a case. Nintendo isn't dumb. And they have known about Yuzu for a long time. Something must have changed recently that made them think this would be worth it.

Just being an expensive pain to the developer dissuades future developers.

Why now then? Why not a couple years ago when Valve teased that you could use Yuzu on the Steam Deck?

They do specify cite the Tears of the Kingdom release and increasing revenue to Yuzu, maybe that motivated them more.

Anyway I don’t mean they certainly have no case. We'll see.

Nintendo has lost this type of case before. Their strategy is usually to drain the defendant of cash.
