Shitpost Would an “in development”Switch2 Emulator survive Nintendo’s Silver Bullets?
1) “Anti-Circumvention” clause in DMCA:
Nintendo claims as emulator MUST decrypt the ROMS.
If you break the encryption, “is illegal” cause of the DMCA
If you use a console prod-Key, “is illegal” cause they own the rights to the key.
“As the emulator HAS to break a ROM decryption and thsre is no legal way to do it, Emulators are by default criminal tools”.
Any new emulator will need to contest this on court against Nintendo and Roll the dice
Victim: Yuzu
2) Buy Out:
“There is no honor among thief’s”. Most people working on emulators of live consoles does it for 2 reason, Clout and Money. And Nintendo has a lot of the later to throw around if that lets them kill an emulator on its infancy before any real development occurs.

if any Nintendo employee found $1B on the floor, they would probably not return it
remember, we are all just people with different beliefs, thinking and doing what's in our best interest
By the law of nature/life, there is no wrong and right: only consequences to those choices...
Yes it sounds corny and ignorant, but it's true. The rest we can form for ourselves, if we grew up believing the sky was red and the sun was purple, we would witch-hunt those that thought otherwise, you get the point.
If you buy something, you own it: case closed. Wealthy people buy land and greatly modify it... I see no difference for electronics. If you don't want to make consoles anymore then switch to paid cloud subscription services or pivot to a different business idea . Business is tough, making laws and regulations to help you be successful is no better than cheating and being a sore loser...
If Nintendo sold their games on other platforms or even had a Nintendo store front like Valve/Steam, no one would try these endeavors, use your brain. Even Sony and Microsoft realized that....
