Nintendo DMCA'd tools to extract validation keys from Switch hardware to use in emulators, and people are losing their minds over it. You people have been openly bragging about illegally pirating a game that hasn't even officially released yet, streaming it, rubbing it in people's faces, dumping spoilers at every opportunity, and you act fucking shocked when Nintendo slaps back. And this is fresh off the heels of Nintendo turning Gary Bowser into a wage slave for doing exactly what you're doing. No, pirating TotK is not "game preservation", it's not "sticking it to the man", it's not "morally right", it's theft. You can *maybe* make the argument that older Nintendo games that they don't sell anymore are okay to emulate, that's *possibly* preservation, but anyway you slice it, it's still theft.
