Nintendo Crackdown Targets Switch Emulators on Discord
-
Nintendo got the Yuzu Switch emulator to shut down in March. Now Discord is reportedly deleting accounts and servers of other Switch emulators like Suyu and Sudachi.
-
Discord told developers they violated IP rights but provided vague details. Discord says it's just following DMCA takedown processes.
-
A Sudachi developer shared a Discord email saying his account was disabled for Terms of Service violations related to intellectual property.
-
The emulator developers claim they weren't doing anything illegal and were trying to ensure they complied with the law.
-
This continues Nintendo's crackdown on Switch emulators as it aims to prevent piracy and illegal downloads.
