Nintendo is absolutely the harshest on piracy of the big three, but at the same time I honestly wonder what some of these teams are thinking. Nintendo is openly known to be extremely litigious, you’re actively developing emulation software for their current generation console, AND you have a patreon taking money for it. It’s like painting a target onto itself and sending their attorneys your exact gps coordinates. There is plenty of Nintendo emulation out there that they are seemingly content to leave be. The Analogues and MiSTers of the world don’t seem to be getting sued into oblivion. I’m sure part of it is the method of emulation, but I’m sure a huge part of it is the effort simply isn’t worth it for protecting games that are decades old and they aren’t actively selling in any capacity.

France makes abortion a constitutional right

Why are the French far-right so apathetic about abortion? -
People were posting sub 1 hour speed runs of TotK on launch day. They didn’t figure it out and get that down in less than 24 hours, they were playing leaked emulated copies. We can argue back and forth about the actual damage of piracy and emulation endlessly, it’s always going to be theoretical. You can buy a steam deck and get switch emulation working fairly well out of the box with minimal effort.

I think Sony and Xbox kind of skate by on power more than anything else. Yes, PlayStation and Xbox emulation are a thing, but you generally speaking need a PC more powerful and expensive than the current console to make it run worth a damn and older emulators aren’t eating into the current market so it’s hardly worth the effort. If you really wanted to run PS4 games, it’s way cheaper to buy a used PS4 or even a PS5 than a competent PC. Nintendo has its current platform at risk and compared to the other two actually consistently makes their older games available for a small fee.
