It's funny, before this, I was just going to buy a legit copy and play it on my Deck (I have a Switch, but prefer the Deck)
Now, fuck those guys. If I play at all, it'll be on a pirated copy.

Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.
At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!
With all that free money, it looks like Nintendo will be just fine if I never purchase another one of their games. Hell, I may even offer to hack some of my friends' systems just to spite Nintendo.
I'm gonna rcm my switch now and copy my animal crossing island to my PC to be emulated. Shoulda done that a long time ago to have a backup that I actually own instead of having to pay Nintendo to keep my save data backed up. I see no reason to play any more Nintendo games on my switch, much less purchase any more when I have my steam deck.
Absolute chad. Keep fighting the good fight.
So this defensive strategy was planned from the beginning. The L in LLC stands for limited. It means Nintendo won't get any money. Tropic Haze LLC declares bankruptcy and tells Nintendo "our assets are two rolls of toilet paper and this empty can of coke, GL with getting your millions". Certainly cheaper than fighting a top lawyer team with unlimited funding
Yeah the LLC structure always seemed weird to people. After what happened to Bowser serving prison sentence and having his future earnings garnished for the rest of his life, this might have been the smart play. Yuzu group will never be able to pay the 2 mil. Company goes under and owners walk away from this escaping real harm.
Is that really how it works? Good for them in that case.
It's complicated. I'm no lawyer so take this with a grain of salt, but LLCs don't offer blanket protection. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil
It is possible to go after people directly, and side step the LLC protection in certain cases. Depends how much Nintendo wants to screw these guys.

And no one ever pirated a Nintendo game ever again.
In other news:
- Switch sales up 2000%!
- Nintendo stock reaches all-time high!
- Half-Life 3 released!
The poor Nintendo executives can finally afford to go to space, like they deserve!
Fuck Nintendo. Find better games for your kids to play. Buy a Sega genesis with an everdrive or set up a raspberry pi or something. Tux kart is better than Mario cart these days anyway.
That was fast.
They settled.
Saw this coming and made sure to update one last time. Ill probably just switch to Ryujinx at some point.
RIP Yuzu

And just like that, Nintendo have guaranteed to never get a dime of my money again 🏴☠️
What a greedy corpo. I'll be waiting on the MVG video covering all the legal details whenever that drops
Same, and they fucked up the Citra Emulation too, and it's the only 3DS Emulator. Nintendo may makes great games, but they are better in a museum than fucking up the industry like that.
Sony will follow these steps.

nintendrones are the most brainwashed corporate bootlickers I've ever encountered
There’s a steam deck discord that was muting people and banning some people for even saying the word “emulation”
The mods were quite scared and authoritative and acting powerless at the same time.

Are there any viable Yuzu or Citra forks?
A guy on the Lemmy.world post posted this: https://github.com/TxzK/yuzu
I wouldn't put anything on GH at this point, not with lawsuits going around.
More important than maintaining the source code though is forming a new group to manage the continued development of Yuzu and Citra. Hopefully they don't fracture into ten groups all making parallel improvements.

@mr_MADAFAKA between this and sending Gary Bowser to jail and taking money from him while in prison ... i will NEVER buy another nintendo product. I should have come to this conclusion LONG ago ... but i guess better late than never.
#fucknintendo
Fuck Nintendo. Bunch of money hungry cunts. I hope their sales plummet. Emulation isn't illegal but here fucking are being forced to buy their horrendously shitty console to play a game. Glad I bought mine secondhand and already sold it. You once had honour. Now you can commit seppuku
this case does not set any legal precedent, but it's still a shame they settled.
I guess this is damage control, since they are afraid of setting a precedent of potentially killing off legal emulation in the US for good.
There's no chance, an emulator dev team can take it up against Nintendo's lawyers.
Don't blame Nintendo, blame capitalism.
Both. Blame both.

This is just encouragement for ryjunix to prep for new console (which is probably going to be almost the exact same)
