I mean, you’re right. I don’t agree with the emulators being taken down, it sucks, but it’s hardly surprising that Nintendo, a company known for strictly protecting their copyrights, would go after these projects.
Hopefully other people and projects can pick up the reins, but should always be ready and prepared for another strike like this.
Yeah, intentionally making a service or product worse to force feed obtrusive ads isn’t the only way companies can make money from it. Once they start doing that it becomes an ad platform that sometimes offers a service, rather than a service that has ads.
