      And the subsequent C&Ds/lawsuits to the idiots who are “forking” the tainted codebase will do an even better job of explaining “you fuck with Nintendo and we will literally own you for the rest of your life”

      That also assumes the various projects have competent developers (unlikely since anyone with the technical ability knows why you don’t touch this code) and isn’t just a way to rush in some crypto miners and spyware to people who are mad they can’t have yuzu.

        What I don’t understand is why developers ever put their names to projects like this. Create the project and distribute it via peer to peer

          Because this is generally hundreds, if not thousands, of years hours of their life.

          Part of it is wanting to get some degree of recognition for that. Part of it is that this is very much part of their portfolio for future jobs searches.

      It sure as fuck was. Half of the Nintendo community knows about this situation, and unless for some reason they still have respect for this evil company, they will now freely play whatever switch games they want without giving Nintendo a dime.

      I’m sure most Nintendo “fans” aren’t a fan of the company itself, just the games

        I think you underestimate the level of fanatism of many of those fellas, they would give Nintendo their first born if they had one.

          I think you over estimate it. I have loved Nintendo games since I was five, but absolutely fuck the company for doing shit like this.

            Yeah it doesn’t take a genius to hate Nintendo for simple things like artificially limiting amibos stock to make more money
