Right, and the problem is that piracy in Yuzu is easy. Piracy on a real Switch is much harder (you have to track down an early model Switch if nothing else).
- skeaker 3y agoPiracy will almost always be the more convenient option. It is up to companies to provide a better service, as is the case with Steam and (until recently) Netflix. Attacking and shutting down avenues for piracy without doing anything to make your own service more convenient is a losing strategy. Nintendo got 2 million here, but has done virtually nothing to stop the average person from pirating a Switch game. It's for that reason that I honestly don't believe their goal was to stop piracy or emulation with this case, they just saw an easy buck and took it.
- Dban1 3y agoI think they crippled pirating new Switch games because Yuzu won't be able to update to support new titles anymore.
