Nintendo continues its fight against gamers

[Lord Windos]

*Facepalms* Oh Nintendon't , you are proving once more why it was a good idea to boycott you all those years ago. Why can't they let us have nice things without ruining it? Sheese....

Piracy is a problem of service and simply not being able to afford games at their exoberant prices now in days. If you don't got good service, then you're going to get piracy.

If pricing was the main issue, then surely Nintendo would have been having more problems with their profit margins for all these $60 games because the games wouldn't be selling as well as they have, no? 

I think the main problem here is that Yuzu was visibly prominent in the Switch emulation space, which is already a bit of a red flag since it's the current gen console.  Slap on a patreon with (apparently) paywalled access to emulatable content, and that's a bit of a recipe for getting targeted by the legal ninjas!  Sounds a lot like what happened to Uranium when 1.0 released around the time Sun and Moon did.

Price is one of the main obstacles between getting games, yes. Games are expensive , especially with a bunch of companies adding in DLC and Pay to Win Content in their games post launch. I can't blame people for going on the high seas to grab their entertainment when they have to decide between luxuries and paying rent and covering the cost of living, and even more so since pretty much every major Triple AAA Studio is just terrible these days. We also don't really know how much profit Nintendon't is making these days , or if its even enough to please their shareholders - for all we know emulation has been a big enough thorn in their side for them to pluck and throw away to recoop loses and save face.

You make a good point about that, but I still dislike a major emulation platform getting nailed like they did. It sets a bad precedent for Emulation in general and is a big scare when it comes to games preservation and the sheer convenience of playing on a PC (and all the customization you can make thereof). Wish Yuzu dodged the Bullet Punch in the end, but they WERE playing with fire in the end....
