    Unpopular opinion: These leaks are probably the reason for Nintendo being so ruthless on emulators.

      It’s difficult to know how much of a difference it makes, but I also think it’s at least a reason. Given Nintendo is also going after sites like Vimm’s Lair, which does not host recent consoles ROMs, it’s not the only reason.

        Certainly not. But with Vimm’s lair you could argue that it’s definetly illegal, while emulation is generally considered legal.
