One would think we have wandered way off the beaten path of the thread title.

I'm with Nintendo on this crack down on emulator. Instead of quietly play your illegal rom on 4K, you guy have to go online and shit on Nintendo console constantly while bragging about your early leaked rom. At this point, it had become business sabotage and Nintendo are in the right to come after them.

Nintendo as a company is a huge a-hole. I'm personally opposed to pirating Switch games, but the big N shutting down emulators even if they weren't supporting or encouraging piracy is ridiculous.

Emulators always encourage piracy. Unless that is, the emulator requires a DRM enabled hardware cart reader that the emulator will only work with and has no way to read rom files from your computer. Not only that, modern systems require the use of copyrighted system software just to work in the first place.

Name an emulator that will only work with original media and has no way to use software that has been transfered to a computers hdd.

Nintendo could have paid him and made him sign a contract so he can't speak about it. It will come out eventually.

Some others are not as optimistic that was the outcome.

Maybe if he was lucky he will get a job working on the next iteration of VC releases. :-D

Why is everyone so invested in the idea that he was paid off? The absolute most logical thing to have happened was Nintendo just plain stated "stop working on this hobby of yours or we will file a legal case, you can not afford to fight it, we have the most expensive lawyers in the world".

If I was working on some software that was encouraging people to break the law (yes ALL emulators encourage piracy, thats how they work) and the owner of the copyrights threatened me with legal action, I sure as hell would stop. So would every single one of you.

There have been developers of other emulators who have managed to secure jobs at Nintendo in the past. But I was a skeptic too.

Maybe once the dust settles he could try getting a job doing embedded development or similar in the industry.
