as a major fan of classic video game emulation, I understand the conversation surrounding game preservation... but I draw the line at emulation of current gen games that are still actively being sold with hardware that you're still easily able to purchase.

I can understand why nintendo may want to destroy and threaten anything that hosts software through unauthorized channels as well, as the biggest source of their income is gaming hardware and software. anything that threatens their main source of income will have the book thrown at them, wouldnt you do the same?

Check this quote out. if you were running a business, do you not see where they are coming from? I feel like their hands are tied:

You Can Lose Your IP Rights if Not Enforced If you don’t take adequate or sufficient, reasonable means to protect and enforce your IP, then you run the risk of losing your IP rights. What is sufficient and reasonable action is not always clear; it depends on the situation. But, suffice it to say, if you know someone is using your IP without your authorization, you should promptly look into it to determine what, if anything, should and needs to be done so that you don’t lose one of your most important business assets – your valuable intellectual property.

damn, why so much hate for Nintendo around here? they make legitimately good games...

I've been having an absolute blast playing the newest Mario party with my family, among the other games they offer.

You can bypass the requirements since yeah, they were always artificial.

I think bypassing these checks would eventually render your PC vulnerable? for example, bitlocker support being void for computers that relies on TPM 2.0

if people like Louis Rossman can change legislation in our favor (talking about right to repair), I don't see why not
