Let them eat each other alive. That would be a 2 for 1 offer for saying fuck off to two giant asshole companies
Typical Apple behaviour, shitting in everybody else’s bullshit pie while keeping their own bullshit pie completely pristine.
By allowing emulators on the app store… Apple Bad?
Google Play has emulators too
That’s good!
Am I crazy? Their line of reasoning is odd no?
I always feel like I’m taking crazy pills when the subject of Apple comes up on lemmy.
On android you can build any open source emulator from source code and install it on your device, you may even build app inside android device and I’ll tell you how, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76763954/android-app-development-with-visual-studio-code https://github.com/vhqtvn/VHEditor-Android
Your question whether rhetorical or not is presented as a bad faith question. And to answer your question…yes. Apple and for walled garden environment.
Yes a walled garden is bad (at least often). But I can see how this specifically is bad.
It’s a good thing.
How is it typical apple behaviour to allow emulators?
Legislation was needed to force them to change
Apple bad for walled garden environment, so when Apple eases the restrictions on their walled garden, voluntarily or involuntarily, they’re still bad?
What are you doing? Like what’s your end goal here? Are you attempting to make a point? Are you trying to say something deep? You’re on fucking Lemmy arguing that apple good for walled garden and locked down systems…
Holy shit, it’s so easy to make people on this site mad by just responding to their comments. I’m literally just trying to make sense of your shit take.
So it’s good faith to say that when Apple does something good that they are bad and it’s typical of them to be bad?
Nope. But if it takes legislation for them to change something for the better instead of offering it then yes.
Good thing that didn’t happen here, then?
Huh, I knew that Nintendo had braindead fanboys but I’m genuinely surprised anyone thinks that corporations teaming up to kill emulation is a good thing.
*Nintendo quietly shows Apple Yuzu’s corpse in their trunk while staring sternly and slowly and audibly tapping a bloody baseball bat against the ground behind their back… *
Apple showing Nintendo their mountain of cash, then cuts them from the AppStore.
Yeah, I somehow doubt that Apple could be done in like Yuzu. They’re in a different ballpark, league, and game.
Apple has make a lawsuit last long enough to not make it worth it money. The worst a lawsuit against Apple did is stopping sales of Apple Watches for a week.
I like that you portrayed Nintendo with an ambiguous gender
I think “Nintendo” should be treated like a plural noun because they consist of many lawyers.
fight asshole companies, fight
App developers are responsible for the content the emulators can include (which are called mini-apps)
So let’s say I am Square Enix. I own the rights to Chrono Trigger. I can release an emulator with Chrono Trigger SNES ROM and can sell it as Chrono Trigger. I cannot have said emulator allowed to run Super Mario World, as that would get my program delisted from App Store.
This is not limited to just emulators though. We can classify the games in roblox as mini apps; so let’s say if Roblox doesn’t remove a game that clearly infringes copyright; they too will get removed from App Store. (Which is one of the many reasons why they try to remove the games that contain these content)
The wording of the new App Store rules say developers are responsible for any software offered in an app, and there’s been a bit of debate going on as to what that means in practice.
I haven’t heard if any emulators have or haven’t passed Apple’s review process yet.
Emulation for game preservation is fine, these ones getting taken down by Nintendo aren’t doing that. They are promoting piracy, providing the keys to play games, and making a profit.
Theres ways to go about this legally, advocating piracy, profiting and providing the keys are what’s not legal.

Yuzu was not a legal emulator, they pretended to be while promoting piracy. If they were a legal emulator, they would still be around.

Your confusing the product and the creators of it.
They are one and the same. If you knew where to look, they provided means. This is one case that didn’t even make it to discovery before settling, that just tells you how fucked they were and how wrong they did everything.
What’s wrong with Twitter? You could also just google this and find the information yourself, don’t know why I have to provide what should be common knowledge on this subject. They were not a legal emulator, full stop, sorry.

Queues arguement doesn’t work since they didn’t reverse engineer their key….
I’m not defending Nintendo, I am providing information on the subject, it just unfortunately only looks bad for one side here. I even said legal emulation has its place…. So how am I “shill” and “defending” Nintendo? Because I proved you are fucking wrong? Lmfao. Why is THAT always the comeback in this scenarios?
Objection hearsay! Some jackass on Twitter saying some crap without proof is not proof. We need screenshots of the actual incidents at the minimum.
arrrghhhh
Say the line, Bart!
“…It is always morally correct…”
“to pirate nintendo games!!”
Ay Caramba!?
Can apple even legally do this lol
there are no laws against emulators. Collusion, on the other hand, there are loads of laws against that.
Nintendo? I don’t know her.
Oh, hi, Sega.
