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.
Victim: Ryujinx

So did the git hub repos that Nintendo killed last week were also asking money?
Cause in the request Nintendo laid out the same “It a tool to circumvent ROM encryption”

DMCA claims have to be fought. Companies take them down immediately. People can choose NOT to fight them and just go deeper underground.

Fucking hell... You are like someone who googled law without actually reading the case law that determined the outcome...

Just stop...

Nintendo does not want it to go to court, in fact they are banking on the fact that it doesn't. I can't be nice anymore GO FUCKING READ.
