Switch emulator Yuzu shuts down as creator agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4m
This sucks hard. They likely knew they could not overcome Nintendo’s infinite money for legal proceedings, and if they lost they could have been on the hook for far more than this settlement amount.
The upside is this has no legal impact, but the downside is they were the best-positioned group to take this to trial.
Now Nintendo is going to start going after the smaller guys, who definitely can’t afford to fight.
@t3rmit3 @chloyster The message is clear: Do not touch anything Nintendo.
For me that includes games as well. Greedy §$"%!$
Yep, I’m not getting any Nintendo systems or games, but I will continue to enjoy fan-made ROM-hack games, played on emulators. :)
Nintendon’t get any more of my money.
