Everyone in the emulation scene can breathe a sigh of relief.

    Why is this a sigh of relief? Nintendo has bullied an emulator’s dev team and got $2.4 millions out of it. If I was an emu dev, I certainly would not be happy with this news.

      Did they really? I doubt their LLC had that much money. But honestly I don’t even know what or how much money they would have there, I guess it was used for the webpage and similar, maybe pay themselves from the Patreon… but I guess that would be gone monthly… Idk… Maybe they rented some office space??? Idk…

      They will declare it bankrupt and that’s the end of it…and unless they owned something with it which I doubt there isn’t much assets if any to give Nintendo or sell.
