A single DMCA anti-circumvention notice, sent by Nintendo on the one-year anniversary of its 2024 lawsuit against Yuzu, showed just how much things can change in a year. Targeting nine repos linked to Switch emulator Ryujinx, the domino effect led to the removal of 4,238 repos. Elsewhere, the distilled components of Yuzu’s demise can be found in recent takedown notices
https://github.com/Ryubing/Ryujinx is still there as well as https://git.citron-emu.org/Citron/Citron (formerly Yuzu), the 2 main repositories for these 2 emulators.
So yeah, “easily killed” 4238 unimportant repos, not even getting the main ones, lol.
P2P code repo when? Git needs to die in 2025
Git is significantly better than the alternatives. Don’t conflate git and GitHub, they’re entirely different.
Just stop feeding them. Nintendo is bad, mkay? And their games are mediocre at best.
their games are mediocre at best.
This is very subjective. A lot of people (including myself) really like their games and it’s also a bit of nostalgia.
There’s a good reason their games sell well* and get pirated a lot.
I, personally, dislike Nintendo as a company. However, I do have to say that their games in my opinion are good. See, subjective.
Kinda hard to say when they’re some of the most pirated games ever… But okay.
Downloads ≠ good
People are choosing to pirate them instead of pay for them and support the developer/publisher. ‘Good enough to play for free’ is also a statement.
Ahh yes. The ol’ “we downloaded it because it was BAD lol” move. Classic. /s
It amazes me that you don’t see how stupid what you just said was. It’s entirely possible to have a good game where people don’t want to support the developer/platform that it’s been released for. It’s totally fine. You can have two things at once. You can admit they make some good games. That doesn’t lessen the argument that they’re fuckin’ evil.
