    I’d like to read into it a bit.

    It said they put a lawyer on retainer which tells me they are planning to fight it.

    If they just wanted a lawyer to review the case, they would have just paid for legal research or a consultation.

    So I think this tells us a bit.

      Once Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit rather than just a cease and desist, you pretty much have to retain a lawyer. Removing the project doesn’t end the lawsuit. You’re at the point where even surrendering would mean negotiating a settlement.

      They definitely should fight it. It’s a horseshit suit and emulation is clearly not copyright infringement. But whether they do or not they need a lawyer.

          I’m done with Nintendo. I’ll not buy their games or consoles moving forward.

          I still have every Nintendo console back to the nes, not counting the virtual boy.

          I buy their games. I know yuzu can be used for piracy but it’s not the only use. Nintendo should have gone after pirates instead of the emulator developer.

            I don’t think so.
            But maybe Emulators need to change how they work.
            Externalize a small, relatively simple tool to decrypt the ROM.
            and a complicated, actively developed Emulator, that can only read decrypted ROMs.

            With that, the Emulator shouldn’t be attackable the same way yuzu was.
