Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.

So what? Now you can't even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want's to milk their users?

Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you "have Nintendo's authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console."

I fear regardless of the merits of the case, that Nintendo will just batter Yuzu with lawyers until they win.

they will never win, it's an open source code, anyone can fork an re-distribute It, they can't realistically lawsuit tens of thousands of people, some of which sre totally incognito

I wasn't suggesting the code would lose, I was suggesting the company would lose.
