Every emulation team? Did they sue others too?
Internet people: NINTENDO IS DESTROYING ALL EMULATORS raaaaaaaa
Reality: Nintendo sued exactly one emulator that was literally charging people to play pirated games
Actually, charging people for emulation isn't illegal. The main problem, that I can figure out, is that they specifically marketed / advertised that upcoming Switch games (TotK) runs better on Yuzu than Switch. Main issue is that they did it before TotK was released.
Disclaimer: Not a legal expert, just what I could figure out from reading different stuff / articles.
Exactly, which is why I said “charging people to play pirated games” (though I suppose it was really just one game, so no plural was needed.)
