It’s embarrassing because of how extremely litigious Nintendo is, and that they are themselves profiting using other people’s work (emulators and/or ROMs acquired from the internet), the exact thing they ruin lives over.
I’m not saying they haven’t used others work in the past, but they do have their own emulators and ROMs. They have for a long time. They are still terrible, but this just doesn’t seem like a big deal to me
Edit: Also, whose lives have they ruined aside from those profiting off of distributing copyrighted material? Taking down a fan game doesn’t sound life ruining

Aren’t the emulators licensed for this kind of use?

They are banning emulators but are then using them themselves. They are banning roms but are then using those same roms themselves.
Sounds like hypocrisy to me
Alright. Let me make sure I understand. Since Nintendo protects its IP, it isn’t allowed to use its own IP?
Like, fuck Nintendo, but that doesn’t even make sense
