"NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy. Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.

Notes 1 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom downloaded prior to game's release; says Yuzu's Patreon support doubled during that time. Basically arguing that that is proof that Yuzu's business model helps piracy flourish."

How can I donate to the Yuzu devs to fight Nintendo on this?

Brother.. Nintendo's net income last year was 3.1 BILLION dollars. There is no "fighting Nintendo".

Let's be real homie. Yuzu is done. Downvote me all you want after I post this.

As much as we all love Yuzu, the dev's had to have known this was coming.

I don't want to be one of those dudes that keeps harping on the "Nintendo should be FOR preserving old games". We all know Nintendo will continue to kick down ANYONE so much as glancing in their I.P. 's general direction.

Nintendo does what you Nintendon't want. Always.

Extreme capitalism stifles and suffocates innovation and preservation.

~~Extreme~~ capitalism stifles and suffocates innovation and preservation.

It's an inherent contradiction of capitalist competition. Somehow everyone is supposed to be competitive but noone is supposed to win for capitalism to "work". Otherwise it's considered a monopoly and "anti-competitive".

Ironically this requires collaboration.

I had a feeling my adjective was too much.

The way you explain it makes me picture an ouroboros where, instead of the snake eating it's ass, it's the ass eating the snake.
