    Any info on what exactly the dev got out of the deal? Huge sum of money? Big titty waifu? Unreleased version of Smash with Waluigi?

        It would be sad if that’s what Nintendo convinced him into believing, because as the article points out, there’s legal precedent for emulators

          Even so, you can’t win a legal battle against Nintendo that easily even with precedent. It will cost you money which you might not have…

            yup, the system is rigged from the start. Big corpos can easily bully an everyday person by stalling the legal process and stack up your legal fees until you cannot afford them and had to settle.

          Yeah, Bleem won that lawsuit. And the next lawsuit. And the next.

          And then they ran out of money.

      They sent goons to his house.

      What he got out of it is, they left.
