Let them eat each other alive. That would be a 2 for 1 offer for saying fuck off to two giant asshole companies
Best I can do is them banding together to fuck normal people over and extract as much cash as they can
fight asshole companies, fight
“allows“
They’ve been forced to and it shows because they didn’t even bother with the iPad
Typical Apple behaviour, shitting in everybody else’s bullshit pie while keeping their own bullshit pie completely pristine.
Huh, I knew that Nintendo had braindead fanboys but I’m genuinely surprised anyone thinks that corporations teaming up to kill emulation is a good thing.
The Apple fanboys have been on this one for a while now. The bill the lack of emulators as a feature since businesspeople don’t need distractions
By allowing emulators on the app store… Apple Bad?
Google Play has emulators too
Your question whether rhetorical or not is presented as a bad faith question. And to answer your question…yes. Apple and for walled garden environment.
Apple bad for walled garden environment, so when Apple eases the restrictions on their walled garden, voluntarily or involuntarily, they’re still bad?
What are you doing? Like what’s your end goal here? Are you attempting to make a point? Are you trying to say something deep? You’re on fucking Lemmy arguing that apple good for walled garden and locked down systems…
Holy shit, it’s so easy to make people on this site mad by just responding to their comments. I’m literally just trying to make sense of your shit take.
Can apple even legally do this lol
Emulators aren’t illegal. So why shouldn’t they allow it?
If so then how did Nintendo manage to take down yuzu?
They didn’t. Nintendo and Yuzu came to an agreement and settled out of court.
They settled because they used an illegal key instead of making their own, which is the only legal way to do this for game preservation.
Incorrect. You had to rip that key for yourself. They never distributed it.
They settled because there’s no winning for them. Even if they’re correct (and they really are) it will be years of litigation… and costs.
They were forced to settle because they publicly talked about playing shit [pre-release] on discord too…
Edit: Found a typo. My bad.
The key they used to make the base engine was ripped from online, not made by them that’s the nails in the coffin right there. They also provided means to publicly available bios keys. They did distribute it, you just had to dig into discord or other means to find it, but it was there.
They were forced to settle because they publicly talked about paying shit on discord too…
So they were forced to settle because they did this thing illegally, yet you say they didn’t…? What…?
The key they used to make the base engine was ripped from online
Proof please. Since it never went to court, nothing like this would have been “found” through the process of discovery. I suspect you’re just making shit up.
They also provided means to publicly available bios keys.
Nope, you had to rip your own to use the software.
They did distribute it, you just had to dig into discord or other means to find it, but it was there.
Users chatting on discord != yuzu doing it.
Nothing about Yuzu itself as a program was illegal. Period. How some of the developers talked in their Discord shows that they were using it for illegal things, which fucked them. Not the application itself.
They were forced to settle because they pirated TOTK ahead of its actual release to allow yuzu to support it, then sold that version that supported it on patreon -> “Made money off it” in nintendo’s eyes. I think it’s fucking stupid that they’re gone, but I’m not surprised, Nintendo happily goes after anything.
App developers are responsible for the content the emulators can include (which are called mini-apps)
So let’s say I am Square Enix. I own the rights to Chrono Trigger. I can release an emulator with Chrono Trigger SNES ROM and can sell it as Chrono Trigger. I cannot have said emulator allowed to run Super Mario World, as that would get my program delisted from App Store.
This is not limited to just emulators though. We can classify the games in roblox as mini apps; so let’s say if Roblox doesn’t remove a game that clearly infringes copyright; they too will get removed from App Store. (Which is one of the many reasons why they try to remove the games that contain these content)
Emulation for game preservation is fine, these ones getting taken down by Nintendo aren’t doing that. They are promoting piracy, providing the keys to play games, and making a profit.
Theres ways to go about this legally, advocating piracy, profiting and providing the keys are what’s not legal.
