Nintendo is suing the makers of the Switch emulator Yuzu, claims ‘There is no lawful way to use Yuzu’::Nintendo of America is suing the maker of the Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu, saying it “unlawfully circumvents the technological measures” that prevent Switch games from being played on othe
Typical Nintendo move. So sad to see Yuzu possibly going down this way. Even looks like Nintendo might win this one. I’m just gonna download the entire source from GitHub just in case.
I wish this would just go full hydra mode if it goes down though. Start popping up new anonymous accounts releasing the source code everywhere.
story as old as time…nintendo sues * insert piracy/emulation/gameplay video*
Cry and seethe, Nintendo.
Just because it’s not lawful (according to them) don’t mean it’s not a good idea.
Maybe if their Switch was priced better and games were cheaper, I’d get one.
Maybe if you weren’t so poor you’d get one heyooooo!
Ha I ain’t poor. I got a custom PC and a PS5. But Nintendo just over charges their stuff. My gf has one of her own, I never played it. Just don’t really have interest in Nintendo games.
Now if the Switch was about $250 new, I might get one and it’d probably collect dust. I stopped playing Nintendo after the GameCube.
…so if I wanted to test my Switch game before I apply for a proper dev kit i’m now officially shit out of luck? Thanks, Nintendo!
Correct. They want you to buy a dev kit for $450.
Good thing there is still ryujinx
For now
I think yuzu is associated with more piracy because FitGirl et al include it in their pirate releases for games with Denuvo
I’ll be shocked if they’re not next.
Just downloaded a copy this morning.
If you would like to support the Yuzu Team, there is an Early Access Yuzu App on the Play Store
Man, maybe if nintendo didnt keep siccing lawyers on everyone for everything (including themselves in their infinite geeneeus) maybe they wouldnt be having these imaginary financial hardships that they want to blame piracy on.
I’m donating to yuzu now. Fuck off Nintendo.

Wow. A copyright lawsuit where Lemmy isn’t rooting for the establishment. Won’t anyone think of the poor, starving artists?!
Are you lost?
No, just disappointed.
Can you point out an example of anyone here who roots for the establishment? It’s kind of contrary to the purpose of federation.
EG 2 weeks ago, there was a post that had people calling for making robots.txt legally binding. Very disappointing.
You’re very disappointing.
How in the world is people wanting giant tech companies to stop violating every single technological oriface for every bit of data they can get their hands on to feed to their AIs dissapointing?
Lol. Yeah, sure. Tech companies would be accused of circumventing robots.txt. It’s not like being able to monopolize information would benefit them or anything. It’s not like that’s not already happening.
When you make harsher laws against trespassing, you’re not locking in the people in the big mansions.
I’m just disappointed by the complete absence of any rational thought.
“They already do it, so we should just let them” and then getting mad at the people trying to stop them is kind of a psychotic take. Unchecked corporate power is how we got to this point and refusing to ever hold them accountable is not going to make it better. Genuinely, what NON MALICIOUS reason could there even be for a small company to need violate robots.txt, and how on earth would that give them any leg up over google?
And you come at ME with “abscence of any rational thought”. Truly vile.
