A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

If their shit wasn't so expensive and their games were released on PC, nobody would pirate it. Nintendo is shooting themselves on the foot then crying foul.

There's a reason why Valve became an industry giant. Piracy is an issue of service, not price.
