older consoles they'd be shooting themselves in the foot for, but with the switch... its still in production and games can still be bought for it... i don't how this is surprising.
they don't want piracy and this seems justified
It's a complete jerk move when they act against something like a SNES or even a N64 emulator, but acting against piracy of their current-gen console is... kinda perfectly normal and to be expected.
They honestly should have waited until the console was discontinued where they don’t sell brand new Switch games anymore and save those games from becoming lost media.
At least it sounds like he was paid something to hand over the project.
It would be nuts if it ends up being Nintendo’s backwards compatibility engine on the Switch 2.
