2·7 months agoAll I have to say, is read the wiki.
Your jumps in conclusion, abrasiveness & complete lack of self awareness is why everyone down votes you. Stop taking every tiny little thing as a personal attack. There’s not much content in Star wars memes, it’s purely coincidental, barley even scrolled.
Also, didn’t you say you were going to block me? How did you see my link if I’m blocked? Unless of course you were bluffing.
You haven’t addressed :
“it’s still on the Google play store and Apple app store and actively developed so why doesn’t Nintendo keep coming?”
Or
“Also, Churches are non-profit, KDE Community are non-profit, Gnome is non-profit, FSF is non-profit, and so on. All of which collect donations. What makes an emulator start-up company any different in this regard?”
Go ahead and block me, it just makes it obvious that you’re afraid to address the main point.
Are you going to address the main point or are you just going to continue to prattle on?
Again, factually wrong. Dolphin removed itself off the steam store to satisfy Nintendo, however it’s still on the Google play store and Apple app store and actively developed so why doesn’t Nintendo keep coming?
Also, Churches are non-profit, KDE Community are non-profit, Gnome is non-profit, FSF is non-profit, and so on. All of which collect donations. What makes an emulator start-up company any different in this regard?
You have no clue how the GPLv3 works, nor U.S. Copyright law. Please stop pretending like you do.
Then why hasn’t Nintendo fallowed through and killed Dolphin yet? If it’s illegal, then why haven’t they continued trying to sue Dolphin?
That’s factually incorrect. They’ve gone after Dolphin whom explicitly don’t accept donations. Then there’s, Ryujinx, Cemu, Libretro/RetroArch, emuDeck, etc. that accept donations. This again comes down to the GPLv3 which doesn’t restrict the selling of binaries of the legal code nor restrict donations. Infact if one is only accepting donations, your company by U.S. copyright law are a nonprofit.

There’s no need to profit from it anymore, donations exist, Nintendo created a Streisand effect.
Exactly!! Nintendo knew that if Yuzu were to press on and bleed financially just slow enough that Nintendo would take the L. Having big implications essentially permanently legalizing emulators, never being able to challenge them in any meaningful way. They just wanted the project gone so gave them a favorable deal that wouldn’t complete bankrupt Yuzu, so they took it. Walked away from the project and now it’s in the communities hands not to mention in the arctic vault.
To bad, GPLv3 already has all the precedence and legal backing needed to keep going, Suyu lives, I wonder what the project will be renamed to next? 😏
Those are your own words. Unfortunately for you, Nintendo still lost. GPLv3 is a tweaked Copyright licensing agreement aptly nicknamed “Copyleft” with strict rights, Nintendo will never be able to kill the Hydra no matter what. They actually need to win to change the law, but they settled instead meaning section 107 of the DMCA, 1998 US copyright law goes unaltered and the original developers move on, and the community builds on top and alter the project, as per the rights granted by GPLv3. Perhaps a project that’d reach enough funding fast enough to challenge Nintendo may go for it, till then GPLv3 is a sleeping multi-headed dragon Nintendo hasn’t been able to stomp out.
Sorry this doesn’t fit with your head bias, but facts don’t care.

His “company” so excluding random ass users and 3rd party contributors. US copyright law is based on precedence. I’m sure you’re aware of the list. Also, check out GPLv3 while you’re at it.
You’re asking the wrong question.
The question is where was the lawsuit filed?“Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court, District of Rhode Island, against Tropic Haze LLC, the developer of the “Yuzu” emulator.”
You clearly don’t understand US copyright law, that’s the problem here. This argument is ultimately pointless, Nintendo trying to force Japanese copyright law on the US will be a never ending battle. GPLv3 makes it live on, just how GPLv3 makes Revanced live on. It’ll never stop.
I shall welcome the Linux sisters.
