  • If a multi-billion dollar company tried to nail me for something that I can't see the end of, I'd likely just fold the company and walk away to do something more worth my time.

    They are asking for 10 years of you company’s back pay. You would be a fool to not atleast pursue legal advice and attempt to fight it in court. You just handed them 1,600k for nothing, while only have had made 800k in that time.

    And if you couldn’t plan and account for potential (very realistic) legal fees, you kinda don’t deserve to be in business. Use 5k a year to get yourself a lawyer and change your process so you aren’t illegal.

    Did you really think that would turn this into your favour? Lmfao. The only reason to walk away, is because you were caught doing something wrong and couldn’t win. So yuzu creators had no morals, and were only in it for the money? That’s really the point you want to make here?

    • You just handed them 800k for nothing.

      They didn't necessarily hand them anything. If I get sued like I explained in my previous post for my LLC...

      I only have 30k in my company's account at this point. I turn off the patreon... I walk away from the company. Nintendo would only get the 30k even though the judgement was for 2.4 billion.

      And if you couldn’t plan and account for potential (very realistic) legal fees, you kinda don’t deserve to be in business. Use 5k a year to get yourself a lawyer and change your process so you aren’t illegal.

      Ahahahah. Yeah you're a moron. Thanks for confirming it. 5k a year wouldn't even be close to the cost for a legal battle against Nintendo.

      Edit: You edited your post. There's PLENTY of reasons to walk away. You're just being obtuse because of some "moral" dilemma you believe exists that doesn't. If they were actively developing their software, and actively spending their money they're donated via patreon/other income streams... They might only have like 10k in the bank (or less). And walking away makes a BOATLOAD of sense at that point. Pay a lawyer 200k+ for a multiyear lawsuit and maybe not win... or lose the application (open source... haha what a "loss") and lose 10k.... It's a nonissue, it's an OBVIOUS answer.
