"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."

maybe if their games went on sale more..
"Fuck you, here's a switch port for a Wii U game. It's $15 more expensive than the original release because fuck you that's why."

Maybe if emulating the game wasn't often better than playing it on the only hardware the game is made for...
Yup. I was in a second hand game shop (cex) a month or so ago and most switch games were only 10 quid cheaper than the e shop. Mario and legend of Zelda where something like 50 pounds. That's because those games don't actually drop in price either psychically or on the eShop much.
