Stop posting this, it’s a non-story, basic emulation is legal but encryption breaking and reproduction of software, which all their modern cases are built on, IS NOT.
That’s what I always said here. They never said emulation was illegal, but all of those emulators started making it extremely easy to pirate. Worse they openly targeted current gen consoles, so it was way way messier on “preserving old games” when brand new games were almost immediately supported. It was pretty much begging Nintendo to take action by targeting brand new games
Exactly. I do not understand people defending this. An emulator playing games that are not even released, it’s a step too far. What’s the difference with piracy?
And I say this as someone using emulators on a regular basis for 15 years. Emulation is good (and necessary) for preserving video games, but the timing is important not to cross the (thin) line between « preservation » and « piracy ».
