I'd argue that you should reverse your stance.

It's illegal to pirate games. Being able to emulate things you purchased is a convenient scapegoat for people to pirate games.



But they are not going after the piracy. They are going after the legitimate method of playing switch games on your PC. I'd argue that MP3 player apps are nowadays mostly used with pirated music, yet I don't see anyone going after them.


> It's illegal to pirate games.

Well, there's a bunch of places where that's not true. Then it's a question of morality, although that usually gets unfairly asked of the individual but never asked of giant mega corporations.


I own switch games. I do not want to play them at 15fps at a 600p resolution if I can play them at 60fps at 4K.

Why should I not be able to emulate them?


Because people are not paying for pirated games?


Why is that my concern?


Being able to cut cheese is a convenient lie to be able to cut people.
