I wonder what the justification was. With Yuzu I know there was that issue with some versions being behind a paywall, but I don't think that was the case with Ryujinx.
The reason japanese stuff is so easy to hack is because it's highly prosecutable crime in Japan. Something as victimless as single player save editing warrants jail time over there. No I'm not kidding.
Maybe Nintendont should get out of hardware sales altogether and focus on their bread and butter, fleecing children's piggy banks (e.g. Dad's credit card) with re-re-releases of existing game titles and selling $0.25 amiibos for $30 that serve basically no purpose outside of unique or even generic loot box drops.
I still love Zelda and some Mario titles, but I haven't given those excessively litigious fucks a dime in over a decade since they started going after Rom sites; and I will continue not doing so regardless of future consoles getting successfully emulated or not.
I don’t know why that would be true. Nintendo has taken strong legal actions against multiple other, similar projects. Infamously, there’s that one guy that now owes them ten million, and regardless of your stance on piracy/emulation, I think pretty much everyone agrees that was ridiculously harsh.
Why would they offer this guy money instead of coming down hard on him too? Is Brazil that totally lawless about IP or something?

Yuzu played with fire when they put an anti-piracy fix for Tears of the Kingdom behind a paywall weeks before the game was officially released.
Nintendo lied in the lawsuit.
When Tears of the Kingom was released, it didn't work on any version of Yuzu.

That's psychopathic

Leader of the project was offered a undisclosed sum of money to shut down the project and delete all references.
He was from brazil, a place known for bribing cops and politicians LOL.
At least thats what I heard.
