Honestly, anyone that was gonna emulate switch already knew, and nintendo has all their big hitters out of the way so isn't going to be loosing much in terms of sales to piracy at this point. they just want a chilling effect for switch 2
Doesn’t seem like they’re gonna get the effect they were hoping for; Yuzu’s corpse isn’t even cold yet and there’s already a successor.
Yeah, I think the 'successors' are still in dmca violation (at least one not sure about the other). But it's still early days, anyway. Yuzu was successful because of the dedicated team behind it. Just setting up other repos doesn't mean much yet. It's gonna take months to see how things shake out.
But you can't deny the potential chilling effect of it all. Nintendo has shown that they will come for you.
But they also showed with what they will come for you.
If you outsource decryption from emulation, they can't do it (this way) again
