Nintendo has been actively taking down YouTube videos that feature its games being emulated or modded, which has sparked significant discussion and concern within the gaming community.

Russ (Retro Game Corps) was so confident with his CEMU video he didn’t think he’d be a target despite everyone in the comments saying otherwise.

Fuck nintendo, I've been playing a pirated copy of Earthworm Jim (GB) all day and I'm gonna keep doing it purely out of spite.

Be defiant. Emulate more games

I've been gradually building up my Switch digital and physical library and stuff like this makes me want to just switch back to Steam and spend my dollar elsewhere.

The strikes are absolutely frivolous and Russ sets a great anti piracy example for others. Backups of your own content are protected.

I'll have to mod a switch purely out of spite.

I thought Japan was all about Face. I guess Nintendo is the exception?

It sucks cause I really like the Mario Kart and Metroid Prime series and was hoping for more 3D metroid games, but there's just so many other good games out there. Especially with Steam and the Steam Deck. I've had every nintendo console and handheld from the NES through the switch, but that'll be my last console now that the steam deck exists and nintendo has become so hostile.

However I do wish there were more devices like the wii sensor and wiimote/nunchuk. I'd rather PC gaming go in that direction than with VR gaming cause I really hate having to move my neck around with VR.

To your credit, Nintendo's golden age is well behind them. Most of the best games they're likely to ever make are already runnable on PC, especially since they've been kinda phoning it in for the last decade or so.
