The drm-free marketing that gog does has been successful, but it is just marketing. While It's true that games sold on gog are drm-free, every game sold on gog that I've looked into is also drm-free on steam. The only real benefit is that the gog installers are more convenient for backups than using a steam back up tool.

Yeah but if they're smart they will work on this anonymously. You can't force someone to show up to court if their identity is secret
"profiting off their work" this is the equivalent to banning wine.
Google Gary Bowser if you think not affording it means Nintendo won't go after them
Ironically a lot of US states have banned reusable vapes but allow disposable ones making the problem worse
Yes but unless they ban cigarettes first, banning vapes will likely just have a negative effect
FOSS emulator developers need to learn that since the DMCA was passed, the state is hostile to them. It isn't fair and it doesn't matter that the Sony v Bleep lawsuit set precedence that emulators are legal because the DMCA is so vague that a judge can rule can rule it is impossible to legally emulate copy protected games. Developers need to start exclusively contributing and maintaining their projects through a pseudonym with no ties to their real identity or move to countries where shit like this doesn't happen.
They were not actively enabling piracy at all. Piracy discussion was banned on all their platforms as well as any information on how to get software title keys illegally. They did everything right and were still bullied out of 2.4 million
You think Nintendo is just going to stop? They can get an easy couple of million now by going after anyone with an emulator. I'm sure they could even go after discontinued console emulators too now they have a shitty service to play their old games.
Small enough this probably ends them
On the books, that is the case in the US too but it is almost never enforced
