Comment on The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam
glitchdx@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoNintendo was able to sue palworld using a patent that didn’t exist before palworlds release. It’s not right, but they can do whatever they want regardless of what the law says.

That’s not the lawsuit that’s being discussed. It’s the Yuzu Switch emulator lawsuit.

yeah, i know. Point is that Nintendo can do whatever they want with the flimsyest excuse.

Exactly. They can file a lawsuit even knowing they might not win just to burden someone into crippling debt if they want to defend themselves

They were able to do that because Palworld is made by Japanese devs, and they used specifically Japanese patent law. Doesn’t apply here.
