change.org doesn’t like my mail address for some reason, and they tried trick me into subscribing to their newsletter :/

It’s more difficult in Europe. For example, when South Park: Post Covid released on Paramount+ in the US, there was no legal way to steam it in Germany or Austria AFAIR. And these are not exactly third-world countries.

Maybe their next console will have a very similar hardware architecture and it will be easy to adapt existing Switch emulators?

I wasn’t talking about job security.

That’s a good point actually. I would argue that most emulators didn’t get good enough during the lifetime of the console, and even Yuzu isn’t there yet. But you can see the potential, and that’s threatening to Nintendo’s business model.

The comments section here is pretty much an echo chamber of people defending Yuzu. I’m a game dev and I think this case is more ambiguous. Emulators like Yuzu have the potential to make Switch piracy go mainstream. You don’t need to hack anything, you just follow a tutorial and google “yuzu keys”, suddenly you can play all Switch games for free. And people don’t need to be tech-savvy to do that. Nintendo would be stupid if they would just ignore this. It doesn’t help that the Tegra X1 is old, almost identical with other Nvidia chipsets and therefore easy to emulate on a PC.
