Maye they're betting consumer protections have eroded enough since then?
Yeah, that's my bet. They probably want to strike now while the US is fuckity to break fair use more
while the US is fuckity
No need to rush then
Nintendo DMCA takedowns didn't work, so now they are trying to bully them with court costs. Pathetic company.
I bought and downloaded ToTK. I wanted better performance than the switch could give. Thats a valid legal use for emulators.
"Emulators do what Nintendon't"
Company that makes money hand over fist selling $400 consoles and $70 usd games made under extreme crunch that have largely all been subpar compared to their previous gen of games, uses the fake tears moves, nothing happened.
Yeah, like... This just makes me not want to support Nintendo even more. Maybe selling 30-year-old games for exorbitant amounts shouldn't be a key part of their business model.
