The "response" is that they got a lawyer, that's literally it. Misleading title imo.
I’d like to read into it a bit.
It said they put a lawyer on retainer which tells me they are planning to fight it.
If they just wanted a lawyer to review the case, they would have just paid for legal research or a consultation.
So I think this tells us a bit.
Once Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit rather than just a cease and desist, you pretty much have to retain a lawyer. Removing the project doesn't end the lawsuit. You're at the point where even surrendering would mean negotiating a settlement.
They definitely should fight it. It's a horseshit suit and emulation is clearly not copyright infringement. But whether they do or not they need a lawyer.
I can’t believe this. Fuck Nintendo.
I’m done with Nintendo. I’ll not buy their games or consoles moving forward.
I still have every Nintendo console back to the nes, not counting the virtual boy.
I buy their games. I know yuzu can be used for piracy but it’s not the only use. Nintendo should have gone after pirates instead of the emulator developer.
We are done for...
I don't think so.
But maybe Emulators need to change how they work.
Externalize a small, relatively simple tool to decrypt the ROM.
and a complicated, actively developed Emulator, that can only read decrypted ROMs.
With that, the Emulator shouldn't be attackable the same way yuzu was.
yea I overreacted a bit :3c
Thank you
