You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Saying your opinion must be correct because Nintendo made an unfounded legal assertion and a small emulator dev team settled rather than lose even more money battling their army of lawyers is like saying everyone ever shot by the police must have been a life-threatening danger to them because they wouldn't have been shot otherwise. There is legal precedence in the US that emulators are legal because unless they're made with leaked or stolen proprietary data there's no reason for them to be with current law.

Nintendo's ToS is not the law. I don't know why you think that.

Lol I'm sorry you don't like corporate IP law. I don't love it either, I'm only maturely and realistically acknowledging reality.

You're right I don't know yzu's thoughts, but we can see their actions. You don't fuck with large IPs without readiness to back it up, so it was foolish for yuzu to be dancing on this.

Clearly the nuance of the hardware extraction made it a target of Nintendos lawyers.

If you wrre so sure this project was just like the "legal" emulators then we wouldn't be here would we?

Reality is that who has more money wins, not that Nintendo's claims are necessarily legitimate.

Which a development group should be well aware of.
