Deck is superior to Switch! And obligatory F—- Nintendo, and their 1990’s mindset with games and hardware. I’m convinced they’ll have to financially fail to start caring. Even a 30% reduction in their sales and player counts should quickly seize their attention.
At this point 2024 is looking like the Year Of Nintendo’s Failures starting off with Palworld. They certainly deserve to fail!
With all that free money, it looks like Nintendo will be just fine if I never purchase another one of their games. Hell, I may even offer to hack some of my friends’ systems just to spite Nintendo.
I’m gonna rcm my switch now and copy my animal crossing island to my PC to be emulated. Shoulda done that a long time ago to have a backup that I actually own instead of having to pay Nintendo to keep my save data backed up. I see no reason to play any more Nintendo games on my switch, much less purchase any more when I have my steam deck.
Fuck Nintendo. Find better games for your kids to play. Buy a Sega genesis with an everdrive or set up a raspberry pi or something. Tux kart is better than Mario cart these days anyway.
Same, and they fucked up the Citra Emulation too, and it’s the only 3DS Emulator. Nintendo may makes great games, but they are better in a museum than fucking up the industry like that.
apt download yuzu will download the deb file (but not dependencies) of the latest release to the PWD. But if you want the latest dev version, you’ll have to build from source.
So this defensive strategy was planned from the beginning. The L in LLC stands for limited. It means Nintendo won’t get any money. Tropic Haze LLC declares bankruptcy and tells Nintendo “our assets are two rolls of toilet paper and this empty can of coke, GL with getting your millions”. Certainly cheaper than fighting a top lawyer team with unlimited funding
I think Nintendo is gonna chill out because they got what they wanted. AFAIK in the super blatant piracy lawsuits, they won huge sums of money but required stupidly low payments of $50 monthly. Part of me thinks that they don’t actually care about piracy itself, but they do care about how it affects their ownership of their properties.
A big reason why I say that is because of a legal theory made by Moon Channel on YouTube. Nintendo as a young company was sued by Universal because Donkey Kong violated the King Kong trademark. Nintendo won that case by arguing that Universal lost said trademark because it was loosely enforced, and they probably feared that another company could do the same to them if they weren’t careful. This could be why they are only suing big targets that are profiting from emulation/piracy and not “non-profits” or smaller sites.
That being said, Nintendo wants to create legal precedent by denying a specific principle in the DMCA that was legally ambiguous. Previously, it was assumed that you could bypass copy protections by supplying your own keys, but now, providing instructions on how to do so may not be allowed.
Yeah the LLC structure always seemed weird to people. After what happened to Bowser serving prison sentence and having his future earnings garnished for the rest of his life, this might have been the smart play. Yuzu group will never be able to pay the 2 mil. Company goes under and owners walk away from this escaping real harm.
True, if they went to court and lost, every emulator project would likely be sued. But settling out of court also sets a precedent, or rather perpetuates the current status quo of crushing any vaguely gray area fan project with the threat of legal action. The shutdown of Yuzu will embolden Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony to be more aggressive about killing off these projects. Until someone does take one of these three to trial and wins, things are going to continue getting worse for game preservation.
Fuck Nintendo. Bunch of money hungry cunts. I hope their sales plummet. Emulation isn’t illegal but here fucking are being forced to buy their horrendously shitty console to play a game. Glad I bought mine secondhand and already sold it. You once had honour. Now you can commit seppuku

That was fast.
They settled.
It’s funny, before this, I was just going to buy a legit copy and play it on my Deck (I have a Switch, but prefer the Deck)
Now, fuck those guys. If I play at all, it’ll be on a pirated copy.

Absolute chad. Keep fighting the good fight.

And just like that, Nintendo have guaranteed to never get a dime of my money again 🏴☠️
What a greedy corpo. I’ll be waiting on the MVG video covering all the legal details whenever that drops
MVG dropped a video today giving his thoughts on it

Sony will follow these steps.
It’s a dark day. I also miss the discord already.
Anybody has the last citra build? The one I have is almost a year old.
And no one ever pirated a Nintendo game ever again.
In other news:
The poor Nintendo executives can finally afford to go to space, like they deserve!
Via jettison? 🤞🏻
Straight into the sun!
Anyone know where to get the most recent linux build as a .deb? I wanna have an installer in case I have to wipe my os or something like that.
I heard the flat pack is still up
Yep, snap too
Yeah, but is there a way to download flatpacks for an Install at another time?
I wanna be able to install it at a later point in time (for example when I reinstall my system)
GitHub releases?
Their git hub is gone

Is that really how it works? Good for them in that case.
It’s complicated. I’m no lawyer so take this with a grain of salt, but LLCs don’t offer blanket protection. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piercing_the_corporate_veil
It is possible to go after people directly, and side step the LLC protection in certain cases. Depends how much Nintendo wants to screw these guys.

This is just encouragement for ryjunix to prep for new console (which is probably going to be almost the exact same)
I guess this is damage control, since they are afraid of setting a precedent of potentially killing off legal emulation in the US for good.
There’s no chance, an emulator dev team can take it up against Nintendo’s lawyers.
Don’t blame Nintendo, blame capitalism.
Blame Canada, blame Canada!! Oh wait…
Both. Blame both.

Capitalism taking its’ course until we stop it, I’m afraid.

this case does not set any legal precedent, but it’s still a shame they settled.
nintendo? more like nintendon’t!
