Yeah I pirated it, played it for 5 hours. I didn't and don't have any intention of buying a nintendo game ever, even if I couldn't pirate it. They are almost never worth the asking price. Most have the quality of a 40 usd steam indie game, some even of a 20 usd one. I know that this doesn't have anything to do with the creative departments, but nintendo can go fuck itself. Also, a friend of mine whose a fan of Nintendo pirated it even before it came out, but he played it in the switch lol.

I'm really curious about this case's outcome.

On one hand yuzu shouldn't be illagel, on the other hand, their patreon income surged when tears of the kingdom came out, and maybe that is enough to say that they enable pirates and thus should cease all operations.

I'm rooting for yuzu. Have they said anything at all yet? Btw if you want yuzu I think now is the time to download it while it exists (in case nintendo moves forward / wins, or yuzu devs are intimidated to take it down)

Problem is, what part of that is Yuzu's fault? They themselves stressed not to go down the piracy route.

Nintendo suing a company for a "feature" they accidentally implemented on the first gen switch. (First gen meaning early to late 2017)

I know nothing here, please explain more.

The first gen switch has an exploit that allows you to extract the decryption keys needed to play your games on an emulator at a higher visual quality with support for mods

Should have made it cheaper...

[–] tkohldesac@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And I bought it once. I think that’s a fair trade.

Not enough TBH.

Wait... they're asking for 150k and part of their 30k/month patreon? That's literally nothing for a company like Nintendo...what am I missing?

Edit: k, I misread, they want the entirety of the supposed 30k per month, and for the yuzondevs to stand trial, but that's still such a tiny number for Nintendo. If 1 million copies were pirated, then I would expect them to go after 1 mil x game price. This almost seems like a reasonable slap on the wrist

They're not trying to make money just shut them down.

But where are the other 0.999999999 Million? Like how they came up with such number?

[–] match@pawb.social 5 points 8 months ago

Hey, I think tango@lemmy.ml is more than a thousandth of a person
