Yuzu developer pays Nintendo $2.4 million to settle lawsuit, ceases all Switch and 3DS...

You could argue that the owner of those keys has the right to dump them to use for emulation.

Yup.

Unlike Sony and MS, Nintendo is in the habit of turning a profit off their hardware from day 1, it is not a loss leader.

So Nintendo is making money off the switch, it is making 100% of the money off its 1st party IPs, and it is likely taking a nice 30% cut off of any 3rd party game on its system as well.

Also, as an old school Japanese corp, they might be approaching things more from a sustainable business perspective rather than the traditional American MBA mindset of growth every quarter at all costs. Having some scarcity of their product to drive demand is a good thing.

Apple make MacOS and iOS available to install on any hardware outside of their ecosystem; they have absolutely nothing to gain by doing that.

If Apple sold MacOS and iOS their software division would have made a lot of money, because many didn't want to pay their outrageous prices for their computers and the associated upgrades.

If their console wasn't 6 years old and low powered when it was new, fewer people would find the need to use emulators on better hardware.

"Even hosting websites and social media that promote the emulator isn't allowed. " Hahaha, I guess Nintendo must be new.

Thankfully, Yuzu was open source, so somebody will hopefully pick up the bones and keep running. Perhaps someone in russia or china that doesnt care about western legal threats."

It's already on other sites, no worries, Nintendo never heard of the rabbit hole, it seems.
