The Nintendo/Yuzu situation has developers spooked now, huh?
- I mean, they always should’ve been spooked. Collecting money while directly facilitating piracy is exactly what got things like LimeWire killed. The Yuzu lawsuit wasn’t a surprise at all. They did a lot to help progress Switch emulation, but stupid things like working on patches for leaked TOTK meant they couldn’t even argue that they were against piracy. Because the TOTK leak was only available via piracy, and they were directly working on hotfixes while collecting payment from their Patreon supporters.

And now we watch eggns
