Yuzu or Ryuzu, can't remember. But that literally encapsulates many who use emulators, in that they justify their "preservation" of still available titles by giving shit excuses like the prices are too high now so don't want to support, or the FPS or the limited platform availability. Those are the people who literally just want free shit, and don't care about how it was made and that there needs to be a return to continue making said games.
I sometimes feel like there's a selective amount of emulator usages where the people truly just don't want to buy a second or third platform. So what they do is pirate, under the guise of "emulating" despite this title in particular not even being released yet. Yes it's strawman theory, but what if Sony or Xbox had emulation paths for current gen and tried to prevent them? Would people throw the same reasonings/excuses for emulation?
Morality and legality don't stop people from doing things. What stops people from doing things is convenience. If Nintendo made their game convenient to access, then the emulation scene wouldn't be big. How many people care about emulating the PS5 or Xbox? Not many because their game libraries are easy to access and their base hardware is sufficient for the games they run. Nintendo Switch is a pathetic piece of tech that was barely acceptable when it launched back in 2017 and Nintendo will never release their software on competent hardware. What a surprise that people want to play their games at decent resolutions and framerates...
Please tell me how pirating modern day accessible titles is a reasonable excuse for the Switch, where it's titles are entirely accessible just like PS5 or XSX? They aren't hiding them, they are available right there in plain sight.
Also I'd love to know what your potential solution would have been to produce a better-performing piece of hardware at an affordable manufacturing cost that meets the design standards of the Switch? You have seen the price and performance of the Steam Deck, yes? Have you noted it's release date, and that it feasibly would not have been possible in 2017?
You can make all the excuses you want about the hardware and the absurd accessibility for modern games, but the point is there are people who use the tools for pirating. In this case, anyone currently playing TotK is pirating the software, no matter your stupid pre-order status. Because surprise surprise, you don't have the game yet, however are somehow justified in playing it early because "it will have shit FPS anyway."
