Can we all just shut up about pirating things as a rule of thumb? Like, just shut the fuck up and play your free game

Agreed. But in this case, yuzu is literaly the first result for "switch emulator" so nindento could probably find it on their own

The problem is that they provided instructions on their official site on how to dump encryption keys. That's just dumb. Let the community supplement that info and just provide the emulator and play dumb.

Lol! I did not know that. Sharing keys for a piece of hardware that's still in production is bold

They didn't share keys, they shared instructions on how to dump them. But it's still dumb, just don't raise any flags if you're trying to run a for profit company.

No. The dissemination of knowledge is important. No, don’t post direct links to obviously illegal material. But discussing piracy is critical to the system’s existence.

Besides, Yuzu was an emulator. Emulation is legal. We are totally right to discuss Yuzu. The emulator itself wasn’t what got them in trouble.
