  • Exactly. The whole “emulating the switch” thing for money isn’t just emulation. Emulation has always had a touch of piracy because it involves hacking items to run old games on newer hardware but with the goal of preservation.

    Charging anything at all makes it pure piracy, and doing it on their latest games obviously is playing with fire. If you are charging money to play Nintendo’s latest games, I don’t care if you try to label it emulation, that’s pure piracy and you just drew a massive target on your back.

    Making a copy of a CD to give to a friend is an annoyance to a company, but you probably aren’t going to be singled out. Making 1000 copies of the CD and charging $2 for each is obviously piracy and you’re going to catch their notice.
