"NEW: Nintendo is suing the creators of popular Switch emulator Yuzu, saying their tech illegally circumvents Nintendo's software encryption and facilitates piracy.
Seeks damages for alleged violations and a shutdown of the emulator.
Notes 1 million copies of Tears of the Kingdom downloaded prior to game's release; says Yuzu's Patreon support doubled during that time. Basically arguing that that is proof that Yuzu's business model helps piracy flourish."
Video games in the form of
computer programs, embodied in
lawfully acquired physical or
downloaded formats, and operated on a
general-purpose computer, where
circumvention is undertaken solely for
the purpose of allowing an individual
with a physical disability to use
software or hardware input methods
other than a standard keyboard or
mouse.
That explicitly only applies to physically disabled people. Yuzu is not specifically targetted at providing a different input method (at all) and certainly not solely for the physically disabled.
