Didn’t they release all these games for free at one point?

I think things like the steam deck are their real competition at this point. If it were not for exclusives, why would you get a PlayStation over a pc/steamdeck?

The amazon app store didn't have a complete app store and it was a big workaround to get apps to run that are not on the amazon store.

They halfbaked the release and killed it becuase of that.

I have a bunch of chat apps. I live in a country that uses a mix of messenger, telegram, viber, and whatsapp. Although it is mostly messenger.

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 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?
