Once Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit rather than just a cease and desist, you pretty much have to retain a lawyer. Removing the project doesn’t end the lawsuit. You’re at the point where even surrendering would mean negotiating a settlement.
They definitely should fight it. It’s a horseshit suit and emulation is clearly not copyright infringement. But whether they do or not they need a lawyer.
I don’t think so.
But maybe Emulators need to change how they work.
Externalize a small, relatively simple tool to decrypt the ROM.
and a complicated, actively developed Emulator, that can only read decrypted ROMs.
With that, the Emulator shouldn’t be attackable the same way yuzu was.
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.
The “response” is that they got a lawyer, that’s literally it. Misleading title imo.
Thank you
Big if true
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.
