"NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo’s software encryption and facilitates piracy. Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.
Notes 1 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom downloaded prior to game’s release; says Yuzu’s Patreon support doubled during that time. Basically arguing that that is proof that Yuzu’s business model helps piracy flourish."
18 million copies sold and they’re pulling this bullshit. Fuck Nintendo at this point.
They could have sold 19 million copies though. Won’t someone think of the billion dollar corporations?
I feel like a large number of the people pirating wouldn’t have bought the game even if it was their only option. Then there’s people who pirated and bought the game both. Unrealized profit is not the same as losing money.
I think the majority of these is people just downloading it to see if it works for 2 hours and never touch it again lol
Yeah I don’t have a switch, and I’m not about to start it when the second one is near us.
The vast majority of people pirating TOTK are just stealing it.
Surely people downloaded BOTW more times than TOTK over the 5+ years Yuzu has been around.
