It’s sad to see it go. As a game preservationist, being able to back up and emulate your games is so important to me. Not to mention a game like TotK can’t even reach it’s full potential on a retail Switch, and Yuzu allows that game to be played in 4K at 60fps if you have the computing power to drive it. Overall, it was probably the right call for Tropic Haze to give in to Nintendo now rather than battle them (as much as I didn’t want to see Nintendo win this) because a court battle could have challenged emulation as we know it. A settlement avoids that for now. I don’t support piracy at all, but I can’t say it suprises me considering how Nintendo treats its customers and the gaming community as a whole.
