Here we go again, hope Nintendo loses. But yuzu with that pateron access thing were kinda cringe.

They also painted a gigantic red target on their back with that.

The legal arguments against piracy are related to loss of potential income, but that's hard to prove.

Except when you accept donations and they can point to it directly. When the donations spiked around the time of the Tears of the Kingdom leak, Nintendo's lawyers probably got very excited.

I'm not saying the devs for emulators can't or should never accept donations, but you have got to be smarter about this.

Emulation is not piracy.

There is an abundance of precedent that emulation is not copyright infringement and is not in any way illegal. You can absolutely make money on an emulator and there is absolutely nothing they can do.
