after what happened with yuzu emu, im done…

EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.

At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this…

Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.

Counterargument, Nintendo strikes nonprofit videos and tries to take down free and open source emulators such as Yuzu and Dolphin. The fact that this is so believable should give you an idea of the sort of shit Nintendo is known for.

Yuzu wasn’t completely free; that’s sort of what got them into hot water in the first place and the reason why Nintendo hasn’t also sued SNES9X into the dirt. Yuzu had a patreon with certain releases gated behind it. That’s what got them in trouble.

I know the ‘I bought the games beforehand!’ crowd will come out of of the woodwork real quick here, but they are of course trying to stop software that’s mainly used for piracy. At least wait until their stuff is off the shelves before you emulate it to ‘perserve’ it. There is no need to be this salty about it.

OP commented about Yuzu alongside the image, it’s part of the reactionary ‘Nintendo = bad’ memes

This meme is not new calling it reactionary is funny. Speaking of funny, Nintendo has previously employed private investigators to investigate and stalk modders so they could sue them better. This is an old meme for a old problem.

In nintendos defense, they’re perfectly fine taking away your ability to emulate 30 year old games they don’t give a shit about too, just for a little more money. Usually, companies rely on good will with their customers to survive, apparently nintendo doesn’t think they need that anymore.

Playing the games can be fun, but getting them to work can be a pain sometimes. Although it’s satisfying when you’ve been struggling to get one to work and finally figure it out…wait, is that why people like the Dark Souls games?

A) He didn’t pirate anything. Just drew a picture of a game on a piece of cardboard.

B) It didn’t actually happen anyway.

Stopping software mainly used for piracy has equated to the inability to do what you like with what you rightfully purchase

So that’s how Nintendo keeps the price of their games so low! They have a secondary revenue stream!
