Same illegal way to bypass drm.So why did Citra also get nuked?
So why did Citra also get nuked? Same devs?
Not sure Nintendo did themself any favor here, others will continue development a bit less openly and less easy to contact, so harder to control
But without large monetary motive, how much are people gonna put effort on this?
And this will be a deterrent for any future emulation development for Nintendo console
At this rate there won't be any need to emulate anything as every game becomes multiplatform pretty much. Sony just recently gave and only Nintedo is last holdout.

Nintendo gets a premium for their own games as long as they control the hardware, so they will try to hold as long as possible. Not sure how long they can though, consoles are pretty much dead.
Ah, you misunderstood me, Nintendo hardcore fans will pay a premium for Nintendo games as long as they perceive them to be something special, which can only be done as a closed-gardem-system aka consoles with their exclusivity. Once Nintendo starts publishing their games on digital storefront for PC like the rest, their fans will realize these are just games like any others and then the market will erode their pricesAt least 20 years ago there was actual reason behind owning hardware as they would design and manufacture it along with chips but these days they are either way using either AMD or NVIDIA chip which means the premium on hardware is small.
Ah, you misunderstood me, Nintendo hardcore fans
Who else is buying their stuff these days other than that?Ah, you misunderstood me, Nintendo hardcore fans
Nintendo never cared about hardcore fans to begin with.
Back when I was buying consoles they were being sold at a loss anyways. Nintendo usually has some cheaper hardware, and I'm sure the peripherals make a nice chunk of change, but i still doubt it's a significant incentive. Pretty sure Nintendo is staying afloat on brand recognition at this point; brainlet parents that can't be assed to research what they're spending hundreds of dollars on for their children still default to buying 'a nintendo' and probably don't even know other consoles exist. That coupled with all the DLC shit and stuff like Amibos and it's probably still a good deal for nintendo to keep their user base ignorant of PC gaming as a concept. The second that kid realizes steam has hundreds of games, and cheaper and better ones at that, they've basiclaly lost a customer. They need people that buy every nintendo developed game to go on the market.The point is that delta between 1000hardwaresales + 1000softwaresales = X and 100000softwaresales = Y starts to wash out and there will be a point where selling 150mil copies of new mario game will completely dwarf hardware + software sales.
Yeah thinking a bit, even if in this moment Nintendo looks like the winner, in the long term, if somenthing radically new won't appear on the horizon, its future is less rose-tinted that the emulation one.Back when I was buying consoles they were being sold at a loss anyways.
