There were so many Nintendo apologists when Yuzu was taken down because “Yuzu used actual nintendo source code, so that’s why they were taken down, it won’t happen to Ryujinx.” Yet here we are. Nintendo is by far the shittiest company when it comes to protecting their IP, because it’s all they have. Turns out, Mario is a fucking bootlicker

I don’t understand how people think getting rid of emulators is good. Having emulators is better as a consumer than not having them at all, since it can give gamers more ways to play their games and might incentivize Nintendo to add features to compete with emulators (think better res and fps, mod support, save states, no online requirement).

  Because a subset of people are idiots. Remember: some people think unions exist to steal your money, socialism is communist dictatorship propaganda, and privatization of government services is good for everybody.

  Nintendo fanboys are a special breed of stupid, arguing with them about Nintendo’s policies and anti consumer practices is just a wasted effort.

Yuzu did not use “nintendo source code”.

They simply hosted decryption keys in their repository. But that still was not the focus of Nintendo’s move. It was that Yuzu and its company profited directly from the release of The Legend of Zelda.

  Makes sense, what was the focus on their move here?

    It’s still not clear what their request entailed.
    
    Although the real root reason, is likely the near release of Switch 2 and the consequent need to be as clean as possible for investors.

    Yeah but Bowser at least gives his subjects free healthcare. When have you seen a skeletoad?

    True. The only time we’ve seen a Toad’s skeleton is when they’re electrocuted in Mario Strikers Charged.

I’m not quite sure you fully understand what you said here, given your surrounding arguments. Nintendo literally cannot exist if they allow emulators.
