MODERATORS
I think this is mistake. IMO they should not distribute compiled versions and let others handle compiling software.
iirc the group has no references to any tools to get anything for the emulator, nor is trying to make money of it. theyve looked at what yuzu essentially was dinged for and removed the offensing part.
sure yeah realistically you could tell the user to compile, but compilation wasnt what nintendo went after, else groups like pineapple who conpiled latest builds for yuzu without permission would have been dmcad immediately, but didnt.
Source code is protected as free speech under the US constitution. It's a fool proof loop hole.
Guys I think I found Nintendo's alt account!
Whether or not it would matter, you can't blame people for being nervous about how the devs of these new forks behave. This is the first test to see if Yuzu really can live on. We don't want more legal takedowns of emulators. After Yuzu, it makes sense to be more cautious. Every time Nintendo pulls the trigger on a lawsuit, more projects decide it's not worth the risk and devs quit.
You obviously did not understand what I wrote when you actually think that I take Nintendo's side here.
