    Nintendo DMCA takedowns didn’t work, so now they are trying to bully them with court costs. Pathetic company.

    I bought and downloaded ToTK. I wanted better performance than the switch could give. Thats a valid legal use for emulators.

    Yeah, like… This just makes me not want to support Nintendo even more. Maybe selling 30-year-old games for exorbitant amounts shouldn’t be a key part of their business model.
