So instead of making their games more easily accessible and re-releasing old games, which has been proven to reduce piracy and may even be profitable, they just throw money at a lawsuit attacking an emulator?

Don't forget good hardware too. The switch is an absolutely terrible hand held device. My hands cramp up nearly instantly trying to play on it.

I have purchased BOTW and TOTK for the switch, but I play them on my steam deck with YUZU Waaaay better experience.

Wait, how does that reduce piracy?

Having a good service that's easily accessible and re-releasing games from older consoles (many of which people have been rallying for) = less of an incentive to pirate them. Obv it will still exist, but it'd be in less of a demand. I almost never pirate PC games since the vast majority of the ones I'm interested in are readily accessible, unless it's from a shitty AAA company like EA.

Ever heard of a small indie company called Valve?
