Piracy has been the bane of a game developer's existence ever since games existed. But embracing piracy can actually benefit developers.
Nintendo made a significant move by issuing a DMCA notice to take down more than 8,500 clones of the popular Switch emulator, Yuzu.
The more they try to stop it, the more publicity it gets. The fact is that Yuzu will forever live on torrent and other sites. Nintendo is fighting an uphill battle.
There is nothing stopping these people from working on Yuzu clones and sharing them on torrent sites. Nintendo or anyone else cannot do shit about torrents or usenet.
lol Nintendo keep fighting this but it never ends. Why do they feel the need to persist? I guess they are in too deep now they have to

A California federal court has ordered the operator of the now-defunct pirate site RomUniverse to destroy all copyright-infringing games within two weeks. The court initially denied the request for a permanent injunction but changed its position after Nintendo warned about a potential comeback of the site.
I would imagine because he's busy with the next WarioWare and any game that's longer than 5 seconds goes against his principles.
Are you talking about the dude that uses the N word and got his girlfriend banged by his brother?
True, you can always find them no matter what. Nintendo needs to give up, no one wants to keep rebuying there games. Also there are systems that can play the hard copy if you still got them. Lucky I still got all systems and those retrocons.
Yup, Nintendo will never be ahead and let's not forget torrent sites that have been hosting their roms for years LOL
This does not do anything LOL. There are Nintendo roms on all torrent sites for so many years, plus look at this:
https://archive.org/details... This is archive.org which has so many rom sets of so many consoles but no one bothers them. 😁🤣 What's funny is Nintendo or anyone else will never win, because again, torrent sites and lets not forget Newsgroups. I have thousands of roms for almost every console so easy to get.
and you are also able to click links on torrent sites, we got the message now. people do this stuff for 15+ years now, its nothing special and we all have google to find these sites if we want.
That's super interesting, I've never considered that piracy is sometimes the only way people can get a game.
