I expected some sort of: “we have x and y to protect us behind when you sue us” but this seems like they either got nothing or don’t want to show their hand.
But expecting this might be due to the title.
I tried totk on yuzu and after 3 days of struggling and playing a little bit, i went out to the nearest store and bought the zelda edition switch with totk.
Without yuzu i would not have made this purchase, but i understand that’s not how everyone operates plus if yuzu ran better i would’ve just kept playing there.
I remember seeing a few studies suggesting that users who spend more money on media also pirate much more often. That might be how most pirates operate in reality.
The “response” is that they got a lawyer, that’s literally it. Misleading title imo.
I’d like to read into it a bit.
It said they put a lawyer on retainer which tells me they are planning to fight it.
If they just wanted a lawyer to review the case, they would have just paid for legal research or a consultation.
So I think this tells us a bit.
Once Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit rather than just a cease and desist, you pretty much have to retain a lawyer. Removing the project doesn’t end the lawsuit. You’re at the point where even surrendering would mean negotiating a settlement.
They definitely should fight it. It’s a horseshit suit and emulation is clearly not copyright infringement. But whether they do or not they need a lawyer.
