Nintendo Cracks Down on Switch Emulation and Homebrew Projects with DMCA Takedowns
TL;DR
Nintendo has issued takedown notices for Lockpick, a homebrew project that allows users to transfer their digital rights from their Switch consoles to PC emulators, arguing that it facilitates copyright infringement. The move has also scared the developers of Skyline, an Android Switch emulator, into shutting down development. However, the Ryujinx team has responded with a resounding no to the question of whether this means the end for PC emulators.
