Nintendo’s full case filing


https://twitter.com/stephentotilo/status/1762576284817768457/

"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."

    That’s a funny one too me, because they are the original source when you dig your way down, so how are they doing anything wrong there?

    Yeah it’s someone else’s work… which isn’t there’s anyways… so isn’t it always nintendos then?

      They’re profiting from something they themselves say is illegal.
