With Ryujinx Gone, We Can't Trust Nintendo To Be Reasonable - Aftermath
Ryujinx, a Switch emulator has ceased development. But what did anybody expect after Yuzu went down? It was always going to end like this.
Fuck Nintendo.
Ryujinx did everything right and legal. Let's see how Nintendo supporters try to justify this one.
31I'm not Nintendo supporter and play Switch games on emulators. But one justification is, that this is current generation system. And while the developers are not responsible for, this enables easy piracy, and basically each first party game got leaked early and was playable before or shortly after launch. So lot of these people connect the wrong dots and say that the emulator "supports" piracy, which is not true, but depending on the view could be interpreted by some haters.
The Ryujinx isn't illegal and I am pro emulation (I have terabytes of Roms for all kind of systems) and Open Source. The above statement is not MY justification, but what I think is what most Nintendo supporters will say. I talk about this subject with my bro, watch YouTube videos and read forum comments and that is what I get from them.

For those who've been paying attention, this has been known a long time. Remember when Nintendo would falsely claim gaming videos on YT and take all of the earnings just because one of their games made an appearance?
18my theory is that this will harden the next generation of nintendo emulator devs to be more anonymous and uncontactable.
i also suspect that nintendo has only delayed switch 2 emulation which is probably really close to switch 1 and can be trivially emulated relatively speaking.
i do think they're going to partner with denuvo though which with make piracy harder, but i think the switch will also be cracked.
9Entire history of video games shows that when piracy is on decline, ripoffs intensify.
9Any info on what exactly the dev got out of the deal? Huge sum of money? Big titty waifu? Unreleased version of Smash with Waluigi?
6They sent goons to his house.
What he got out of it is, they left.
2Given Nintendork's history, this wouldn't surprise me.
