T.L.D.R. The Lockpick software that allows keys to be dumped from a Nintendo Switch recieved a DMCA request from Nintendo. Skyline itself is legal and will remain up for download, but further development might put the team in legal trouble.

Ryujinx developers have responded on their Discord saying that they will not be stopping development of their own emulator.

From what I gather, DMCA doesn’t effect anyone unless they are breaching said DMCA.

If it’s clean code then Nintendo and any other company can’t really do anything legally.

They can however bully and bankrupt folk with legal costs. (Sony and Bleemcast for example)

Am sure Github has reversed DMCA takedowns in the paste that don’t actually break any DMCA, am sure the rockstar one for the reversing of GTA3 and VC was reversed as they didn’t break any laws. (Civil matters)

Good for them.

Nintendo is just using brute force and threats without real legal backing, just because one of their games got leaked.
Yuzu and Ryuji are already matured enough anyway, so Nintendo can stop barking.

Petty as usual. Just stfu and enjoy the massive success. The number of people who do this is so miniscule it's irrelevant.

The worst disgusting company in gaming, gaming N-word.

It would be a nice day when it caught up with them.

That doesn't matter

Because of this, it's the Take-2 playbook as well, it doesn't matter if you're in the right, they will drag the courts on until you run out of money and "settle" in their favour.

Nintendo's Creators Program for Youtube was peak Nintendo.
WiiU and 3DS had exploded in their face and no revenue stream, no matter how petty was too low and they did the bean-counting for three years.
