I’m done with Nintendo. I’ll not buy their games or consoles moving forward.
I still have every Nintendo console back to the nes, not counting the virtual boy.
I buy their games. I know yuzu can be used for piracy but it’s not the only use. Nintendo should have gone after pirates instead of the emulator developer.
I’d like to read into it a bit.
It said they put a lawyer on retainer which tells me they are planning to fight it.
If they just wanted a lawyer to review the case, they would have just paid for legal research or a consultation.
So I think this tells us a bit.
I’m totally donating if they decide to fight it.
The fact that they put the lawyer on retainer tells me that they want to fight it.
Otherwise they would have just paid for the consultation and shutdown the project.
I wish I didn’t have such a dependence on coffee. I’m about to go on a trip and am brining instant coffee with me to the airport in case the shops are closed during my early flight and I’m not able to get coffee until after checking in which is like an hour and a half from the airport.
As a side note, I’m in a third world country and going to an island. They will totally have coffee there, but i might not have access until later in the day.
I totally bought stardew valley and recommened this game a bunch of times to people after "trying" it. In fact, I have bought it twice on PC, once on Switch, and on iOS.
I would also like to add that piracy does not equate to a loss in sales.
There are plenty of things I would never spend money on, but I would check/try them out of they were free.
For example, a VR headset. I will never buy one since I get dizzy too easily generally. But, if there was one that I could try for free I'd try it.
So, If im using one at a library, it does not mean that a sale was lost. It just means I find the value of this thing to be less than what you are charging for it.
Yuzu did not pirate the game. Other people did. What did Yuzu do that was illegal?
Did the movie studies sue dvd player makers because people ran pirated movies on them?
I’m not in the US, so the options I had here were either expensive or didn’t have any reviews.
I’ve been wanting a steamdeck for some time and that is what pushed me to get one.
Nintendo is basically saying that they are guilty of enabling piracy.
That same argument would paint gun makers as guilty of enabling murder and crime. Nintendo should really be going after rom sharing sites. That’s totally legit, but not the emulation devs.
If they have a fund for legal costs I’ll donate.
It might just be a matter of having a eu apple account.
But at this point, there is no reason to worry about that.
There isn’t really true side loading. I’m hoping come March 8 the EU tells Apple that they have to do better.
