I have such mixed feelings on Emulation. On one hand, playing games I purchased on a PC or Steam Deck? Adding graphics shaders? Learning how the game works? Super cool!
But then, unfortunately, I will admit also that about 92% of emulation, is so people can play games they did not pay for. The sense of entitlement from these people when they talk about it is often stunning, and I cannot support it. As for Homebrew, despite people talking about it, I have yet to see anyone say “XYZN is a fantastic homebrew game that really shines on the Switch specifically.”
If I was Nintendo, I would honestly be doing the same thing right now. If it were possible to build an emulator that only played purchased games then maybe we could have a discussion about leniency.
