On one hand, we can talk about all the things we agree and or don't agree with where Nintendo is concerned, but on the other hand, I also know the damning side of consumers and have quite frankly seen a disgusting and concerning side of people throughout this process.
I grew up playing Nintendo's consoles and many entries for the respective platforms, likewise with some of Sony's and Microsoft's consoles as well, none of them are good in the sense that they have our best interests in mind or at heart, and really all they care about is how much they make in the long run, a.k.a. greed. I praise them when they do right, but I will criticize when they do wrong. HOWEVER, I also apply this to the normal Joe out there too, this includes those reading this statement, the consumers. I don't understand why Nintendo is as harsh as they are to their fans, companies like SEGA seem fine a lot of times with people messing with stuff (they aren't saints either, they have had their share of stuff much like any other company, but they do indeed have more lenience). Is Nintendo wrong for doing this, well, I am honestly not sure at this point, this brings me to my next point.
I've known, read through, and have been around platforms like this one for years, in my earlier years I spent a lot of time reading as a mere guest, watching some of the scene(s) grow and watching more and more happen as the consoles kept coming. Honestly, I'm rather extremely disappointed in a lot of people, not just on here, but in quite a few other places too. With the way some of you guys and gals go about your ways acting like spoiled rotten brats with piracy, acting like literal shit stains and sitting behind the line of "preservation" to excuse your obviously rotten entitled actions, thinking about it, I don't put full blame on companies like Nintendo going after stuff like this, I mean look what the hell some of you guys and gals do, you leak shit days, a week, or more before a title's street date, you can't even be bothered to shut your fucking mouths if you happen to get access to a copy early, you have to absolutely ruin it by leaking sneak peaks, screenshots, videos etc. Not only that, but you have to make it apparent that you are running shit through an emulator, because you know, somehow that's such important information that you must tell the whole damn world about it right? It's not even a leak here or there either, some of you are so impulsively stupid about your actions, you might as well say you practically live off piracy and every early leak 100% of the time, and when you blabber and completely misuse resources (emulators, flash devices, etc.) for your stupid gains, well, you mess with the bull, you end up getting the horns at some point. I don't understand what the hell is wrong with some people, no idea if it's a fucked up hitch in the DNA, a mental problem, or just some people straight up don't give a shit, and walk around thinking there are no consequences for their actions. All fun and games until shit hits the fan, maybe you aren't going to jail for pirating the way you do, but when shit like this happens (Yuzu and Citra being obliterated), it really doesn't make me question why so much, it starts to become pretty obvious why. Consequences, especially the negative kind, are a real thing geniuses, the sooner you stop rejecting and deflecting the better off you will be as people.
Nintendo is at fault for not treating their fans right, and for being as harsh as they are with their properties, but YOU (you know who you are) screwing around thinking you are a Billy badass thinking you are top of the world just because you pirate, kiss and tell like a complete freaking moron, are also at fault, pretty much aided and is aiding even still AFTER the damage has been done in killing stuff like this. Hope you are quite happy with the results. "Hot take" as some say, but maybe it's a good thing we lost two important emulators, maybe, JUST MAYBE, some of you guys and gals will get it through your thick skulls to stop being so entitled and spoiled rotten to the core, stop being under appreciative and abusive to these things, and all around stop being stupid going about doing stuff like this, otherwise you'll just keep reaping consequence after consequence. I would rather we have nice things and all be happy, but hey, what the hell would I know, I'm just a guy using his brain and actually thinks about things, especially if there are potential negative consequences.
