Tbh, i just stopped playing Nintendo games about 10 years ago.
Most of them just suck in many regards, the hardware you need is shit, and they are super expensive for nothing. Shure there are some gems apparently, but its just not worth it.
The hardware and corporate practises i would agree, (especially the hardware - extra shitty considering its aimed at families and kids and it wears out so fast)
But I have to disagree about the games. Their flagship games are consistently very good (so long as you’re a fan of the genres).
That copyright thing was never actually tested in court though, because they settled before the trial began. The “copyrighted keys” argument was what Nintendo originally used to bring the lawsuit, but it was never actually tested because it never went to trial. In fact, many legal experts say it likely would have been thrown out in Yuzu’s favor. But Yuzu didn’t have a legal fund, so they couldn’t afford to actually take it to court and fight it.
There never was a issue, Nintendo just made shit up and a open source organization doesn’t have money for a big lawsuit, even though they would have won.
Any court process is a great burden. People don’t evade it only if they think and are sure they will lose.
On the inverse, many sure-to-win proceedings never occur because it’s a high barrier and a time- and money-costly process and so people don’t see it as worth pursuing.
Well… As you see your honor, i cant violate their copyright because they fucking suck and i made something better…

Unfortunately, the copyright issue was about a decryption key, not about Yuzu providing a better product.
It’s downright bizarre that apparently someone can own a physical copy of a game and not be allowed to dump them. DMCA and customer rights are broken.

I wasn’t aware of the monetary part of the settlement. The figure was not included in that comment.
