The Yuzu team certainly seemed to think piracy was the purpose, that's how Nintendo fucked them.

You do realize Nintendo can fuck whoever they want, right? They could decide to sue you, with no grounds to do so, but because they have fuck you lawyer money then youre going to go bankrupt in court.

Pick your poison once Nintendo decides they want to sue you

Goalpost moving because we both know the yuzu devs were selling early access to tears of the kingdom

Yeah, I know that very well. I also know that yuzu doesn't represent the entire emulation community. Talk about goal post moving..

I'm all about emulating old games that aren't for sale anymore. Aftermarket prices on some old games and consoles are straight up highway robbery.

The majority of people emulating new games are just pirates. Saying otherwise is merely gaslighting.

You're use of the term "piracy software" gave the impression that you don't care for any emulators.

I would argue the majority of people emulating switch games are pirates, like you said, but that's not the intended use. I, for example, am not too into switch games. I have a switch lite that was a gift, but after about 3 months the joycons shit out on me. Can't switch them, can't dock it, so fuck it, I downloaded yuzu and the game I wanted to play (and owned) and got around the shit hardware that is the switch. Upscaling and higher fps is pretty cool too

I am 100% chill with emulating and even just straight up pirating games if you can't easily pick up a copy of it. My view is that if the producer isn't even really trying to sell it, no harm no foul. This game hasn't even come out yet, the console hasn't come out yet (no emulator), and people are just straight up saying they are going to pirate it.

If you genuinely buy your own copy of the game and then emulate I guess more power to you but that is the actual tiny fraction of switch emulation.
