alt Hacker NewsWhat's wrong with getting money out of a product? The fact that it was an emulator changes nothing. They would have been sued, Patreon or no Patreon. Making an emulator is not illegal. And I don't mean gray-area not illegal, I mean court-precedent not illegal.

Under precedents established before the DMCA was law, and under lawsuits filed before the DMCA was applicable, on consoles which did not have encryption on which the DMCA would have applied.

Just curious, why does Nintendo seem to think they have a legal standing? Why did the Ryujinx devs give up instead of continuing their extremely-legal work?

>they took money to help people pirate a brand new game
That is where they went wrong
Does the Nintendo-Tropic Haze settlement not count as court precedent? It was signed off by a judge after all.
