It will be really cool if some 38-year-old manchild going out of his way to ask Nintendo to sue him is what allows them to squash the emulation scene

The switch emulation scene is already pretty dead.

There's a fork of Ryujinx by Greemdev that is seeing development right now, so there might be hope still.

I mean establish legal precedent against emulating not just the Switch but all consoles with technological protection measures, fuck I'm tired of hearing that phrase. Dolphin, for example, would immediately have Nintendo's lawyers jumping down their throat

Why? Emulation is good.
