    [yuzu agrees to] hand over any “physical circumvention devices” and “modified Nintendo hardware” to Nintendo.

    You will own nothing and like it.

    What should happen is a judge should recognize that Nintendo’s behavior is categorically worse for consumers: not allowing them to modify their own hardware, not allowing them to make copies of their own data, not allowing users to build their own hardware and software on which to execute their own data in a way that creates a demonstrably better experience for the consumer. You know, innovation.

    What will happen is that money is the judge and jury, and if corporations don’t get every last million they want out of consumers, they’ll sue it out of them as “damages”.

    I would say vote with your wallet, but gamers have never once exhibited a backbone. The next pokemon game could just boot up to a low-res jpeg of pikachu that crashes after 20m, and it would still make millions. And Nintendo knows it.
