Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Any info on what exactly the dev got out of the deal? Huge sum of money? Big titty waifu? Unreleased version of Smash with Waluigi?
Likely not getting his life destroyed by a lawsuit
It would be sad if that’s what Nintendo convinced him into believing, because as the article points out, there’s legal precedent for emulators
Even so, you can't win a legal battle against Nintendo that easily even with precedent. It will cost you money which you might not have...
yup, the system is rigged from the start. Big corpos can easily bully an everyday person by stalling the legal process and stack up your legal fees until you cannot afford them and had to settle.
They have lawyers on staff earning a salary, so stalling literally costs them no extra money.
Yeah, Bleem won that lawsuit. And the next lawsuit. And the next.
And then they ran out of money.
They sent goons to his house.
What he got out of it is, they left.
Given Nintendork's history, this wouldn't surprise me.
