They keep winning the cases themselves in courts very much rigged in their favor, sure, but for each headline, they risk alienating more gamers who don’t appreciate them bullying comparatively tiny sites who are just providing games that Nintendo themselves refuse to sell.
Them issuing C&D after C&D costs their legal team time and money they could be using to, idk, trademark new IPs or license third parties for libraries and music. It also hurts their PR.
They keep paying money for attorneys and court proceedings but don’t get anything in return, since the code is out there and will just be shared again by someone else. Hence: whack-a-mole
Is it really a waste of Nintendo’s time and money if they keep winning?

I know, I know. Just making a point. They could be doing better things that actually build good faith.
maybe in theory, but the Nintendo coffers wont be running dry any time soon.

If a new one just pops up going after the previous one was indeed pointless.
