Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.

So what? Now you can't even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want's to milk their users?

Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you "have Nintendo's authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console."

Tech pays way more in the US than anywhere else.

With everything else being more expensive…

Although I only know this to be true for germany. No idea about nordic countries. They’re generally more awesome than germany in most regards. Only downside is the light situation.

Many things are cheaper in the USA than in Europe or Canada. The downside is the USA's poor healthcare, public services, workers' rights and justice system, and (probably) having to live under proper fascism soon.
