Nintendo could have hired few of the yuzu devs and launched its own gamepass style service for PC and allow people to play games via emulation. People aren't using switch emulators only to pirate but because they actually perform better than the original console the games were developed for due to hardware limitations.
- extrememacaroni 2y agothat kind of PR stunt is for failing companies, nintendo will remain rich doing its thing for the foreseeable future
- idle_zealot 2y agoIf Nintendo wanted its games playable on non-Nintendo platforms it would not need the yuzu devs to achieve that. Keeping their games exclusive is a deliberate strategy.

- idle_zealot 2y agoEnabling compatibility/format shifting has been a successful fair-use argument for DRM circumvention in the past, but it would be nice to have an official carve-out.
