alt Hacker NewsI don't understand how you consider the Nintendo Switch to be abandonware.
Nintendo aren't taking down SNES emulators. They're not taking down GameCube emulators, they're taking down Switch emulators.
The emulation community, -- again, mostly pirates -- have zero chill. The lesson that they desperately need to learn here is this: Do not bite the hand that feeds you.
Emulating latest generation systems and games that are currently for sale for that system is biting the hand that feeds you.

uh no.
I am emulating Zelda Breath of the Wild to play it at higher resolution. I already own the cart and the console.

I don't? My comment was on the primary use of emulation.
And Nintendo Switch is not the predominant console that is emulated. In fact Switch emulation runs only on relatively modern systems, not on Android and not on the myriad of cheap emulation hardware that is sold on AliExpress.
