The IGN article said this:

"The suit also states Yuzu's website provides detailed instructions on "how to unlawfully acquire" cryptographic keys used to decrypt and play unauthorized copies of Nintendo games through Yuzu."

If true, this is pretty damning. I think Nintendo does its homework and knows which cases it can win and which they cannot. They spend a year to prepare for this one.

Not sure if I agree. I rarely hear people hacking the Switch compared to a 3DS or the PSP. Vita? I forgot which one. The 3DS is notorious for the "surprisingly easy to hack a 3DS" meme.  While I see more people talking about emulating a Switch game although it's most likely the effect of certain content creators.

Well, a lot of things are in the gray area, even emulation although commonly seen to be completely legal by the community. Nowhere does it clearly state whether emulation is completely legal or not. Also, I would say your comparison wouldn't work here because a TV and the content on it coexist, whereas Yuzu and Switch do not. The correct comparison would be more like a streamer mirroring something like the Olympics, which would get them banned. However, I think it would be fine if Yuzu benefits the Switch or Nintendo in some way. Like content creators. Content creation is also a gray area legally speaking, even with "fair use" but it's brushed aside because it benefits the original content most of the time. I just don't see that with emulation. In fact, it usually hurts the original content because emulating is associated with pirating. 

Or a bunch of people who have money, but instead of buying the actual product, they would rather spend it on the emulation because they are PC enthusiasts who hate console exclusives as seen from their attitude. People that can't stand the fact that things are not equal. Ironically, PC has the most exclusives out of any console in existence but nobody talks about that. More than likely people donating are either what you said or what I said. 

This is utter nonsense.  It is easy to avoid spoilers.  All you have to do is not look at them.  I've been gaming since 1982, and have kept up with the gaming press for much of that time.  I have never had a game spoiled for me. Not one single time, that I can recall. And that's because as soon as spoilers start circulating, everybody talks about the fact that spoilers are around. So, I don't look at those things. It's really very easy. It doesn't require any real effort at all. 

Essentially, one must choose to spoil a game for themselves, otherwise it will not be spoiled.  

Reason for that is many people like myself talk about playing our legal owned games on PC as the is noting illegal about it. However if someone on this site or others like this start talking about playing pirete games on their hacked switches they will get banned. JUst saying maybe thats why you hear more about people playing games on an emu then you do them playing pirate games on hacked switches.

IT doesnt change the fact most if not all them one million copies where played on hacked switches since its the most easy console to hacked console since PSP and PS2.

I hate the people at Nintendo, they're the worst company when it comes to preservation of games.

But they're not wrong in this particular case. Switch is their current system, and emulate it right now could damage them. But taking down ROM sites for sharing games from over 30 years ago is not a good thing when you're doing an awful job at making classic games available.

Pretty sure that time they took down the ROM site was because they were making money off of it which is completely illegal and valid for Nintendo to go after them. Also, not to defend Nintendo for their lack of preservation (because they are terrible at it), but Nintendo is the only one with a long history in the gaming market, with known titles, and platform owners that is still surviving today. So I think it's a little harsh to call them the worst company for preservation when others either no longer exist, have significantly fewer titles and generations to worry about, or lack of games people care for so the lack of effort in preserving is not as serious.

Not really. For example, I got Xenoblade 3 spoiled on a Discord server that doesn't even have anything to do with emulation or Nintendo because it was dumped online early and ppl were discussing it in a gaming-channel. Their comments were soon deleted by staff, but once you see it, you can't unsee it. Maybe I should have just avoided Discord right? Why should I have to go through extra effort to avoid spoilers? On top of that, one of the enjoyment of a game release is the waiting time and procedure towards the release date such as discussing with others. But boom, we are told that it was leaked online. Immediately kills the vibe, hype, or anything that was keeping the tension. Very lame. It's been especially bad lately. It's not so easy avoiding spoilers either, because psychologically when I know everything is out already, it feels stupid waiting and purposefully avoiding them for like a week. It's the same feeling as going up against cheaters in a game. Yeah, you can ignore the cheaters, move on to the next game. But it's discouraging fosho. Same feeling as missing out on something you wanted because of scalpers. Hey, it's not the scalpers fault! Yea fuck that. 

THis is nothing to do with emulation or Yuzu. The game can be played on hacked switches.

I feel like you are forgetting the OG Switch is easy to hack, not the current models. I wouldn't say it's the "easiest" console to hack at all. But I don't hack my consoles so what do I know. What ur saying is bs tho cuz why would someone get banned for talking about a hacked switch and not emulation when you can also pirate through emulation, plus you need a hacked switch to "legally" play with an emulator anyway. Makes no sense.

"IT doesnt change the fact most if not all them one million copies were played on hacked switches" from what source? It was implied in the document that paid membership for Yuzu doubled during pre-release of TOTK. So naturally, the correct assumption is that more people were looking to emulate it during this period. Stop making terrible assumptions and stating them like facts.
