Switch performs better running games through an emulator emulating the switch than natively. : gaming

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.

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.

I doubt the settlement amount came close to what the legal fees would have cost. They knew they were going to lose.

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.

You're not saying anything I haven't already addressed in the comment you replied to. The Yuzu settlement was $2.4M. That's more than enough to cover a good attorney's fees for several years.

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