That argument does not hold water because Switch was already one of the most successful consoles of all time before they even lifted a finger againt Yuzu. Switch's sales/success did not substantially change in the <1 month period that passed since they started the lawsuit against Yuzu.
- matsemann 3y agoYour argument doesn't hold water, because this isn't a recent development.
- cherryteastain 3y agoLawsuit filed on Feb 26 2024 [0]. Switch launched on March 3 2017 [1]. Yuzu's first release on Jan 14 2018 [2]. Therefore, a Switch emulator existed for the vast majority of the Switch's lifetime and the lawsuit is a very recent development compared to the lifetime of the Switch and the emulator. Hence, if Yuzu was so gravely damaging to Nintendo, we would not see the Switch become one of the most successful consoles of all time by selling over 115M units in the Q1 2018 - Q3 2023 timeframe [3] [0] https://www.scribd.com/document/709016504/Nintendo-of-America-Inc-v-Tropic-Haze-LLC-1-24-Cv-00082-No-1-D-R-I-Feb-26-2024 https://www.scribd.com/document/709016504/Nintendo-of-Americ...

- matsemann 3y agoNot relevant to the point. There's been multiple takedowns over the years, and Nintendo's known stance on this has probably stopped it from being a free-for-all. So you must compare it to what it could have been.
