Emulation is not piracy
This is true but also it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games
It does very much bug me though how, unsurprisingly, there's plenty of people on reddit and Twitter acting like piracy is the only reason one would use Yuzu, as if it isn't such a huge value to be able to run games you paid for at a more playable framerate and better resolution than Nintendo's outdated hardware
Like, hell, Tears of the Kingdom having such awful performance drops on official hardware even compared to BotW is basically the big reason I haven't bothered picking it up
"B-B-But, capitalism loves competition!" 
If I could BUY a digital copy of Pokémon red I would. But I cannot. They won’t re-release it. So what am I to do? Same with all their other old games. I’d 100% pay for it if they sold it. But they don’t. Them not selling it doesn’t mean I suddenly don’t want to play it anymore.
Nah, fuck them, I wouldn't give nintendo any money after this bs, they are complete corpo assholes and I could not care less if they are stolen from because of this very shitty pattern of behavior
Reminder that pirating nintendo products is morally good.
I don’t plan to, their new Pokémon games suck anyway 🤷🏻♀️
If I could buy a game from Nintendo, I still wouldn't.
I do buy from Steam though, since it's more convenience than piracy.
Yuzu [...] allows for the play of encrypted Nintendo Switch games on devices other than a Nintendo Switch.
That's pretty much the whole statement, claiming this to be a crime is just infuriating.
It's like claiming that you can't use the ink inside a printer cartridge you bought, unless you use it with the specific branded printer.
I'm fairly sure that's a thing, too, lol. I went to buy a printer recently and couldn't find a decent one in my price range because they're all essentially leased nowadays. It seems you have to use their ink and you can only get it via monthly subscription. Even if your cartridge had ink left in it, you wouldn't be able to print with it unless you had enough page credits. Fuck that.
Nintendo is run by snowflake.
well...business as usual with nintendo
This is unsurprising given Nintendo's history
On a related note it was extremely funny watching Nintendo's overhyped exclusives leak a week before release.
i downloaded sonic stars something or other yesterday and was surprised to find it was a switch game that booted up this emulator
It really sucks how often pirates have to resort to emulating inferior Switch versions because the PC versions have uncracked Denuvo
yeah and of all systems to have to emulate... the switch, ugh
