This is pretty disastrous, the things Nintendo is suing over are things that apply to pretty much all emulators, it would be a very dangerous precedent to set if Nintendo were to win this one

And even if they don’t win, it’s still very shit that they’re even able to use lawsuits as a scare tactic, that they can ruin people’s lives even without needing to win

Also, daily reminder that “piracy equals lost sales” is nothing but corporate propaganda, often it’s the opposite actually:

    If I could BUY a digital copy of Pokémon red I would. But I cannot. They won’t re-release it. So what am I to do? Same with all their other old games. I’d 100% pay for it if they sold it. But they don’t. Them not selling it doesn’t mean I suddenly don’t want to play it anymore.

      If I could buy a game from Nintendo, I still wouldn’t.

      I do buy from Steam though, since it’s more convenience than piracy.
