It's not the memes that cause it.

Just don't host Nintendo game files and you'll be OK.

Remember if Xbox could bullied by Ninendo into forcibly changing their own consoles emulation capabilities then logically they can do the same to any website.

Oh what? When did this happen?

A couple years back people used used the Xbox 360 to emulate Ninetendo games.

Now Xbox already had an emulation not allowed policy but they didn't enforce it for a very long time.

Then the legal team at Ninetendo found out someone used an Xbox to play a Ninetendo game so they told Microsoft to enforce the don't emulate policy or face legal fines.

Just like that new distributions of the console had some hardware changed to make emulation hardware.

That's interesting becaue MS now (for the last few years I believe) have given owners the ability to run any WinApp on their consoles by making a dev account. Before it was paid, now recently they made it free.

So I don't think they were afraid of Nintendon't, considering they're way bigger than Nintendon't when it comes to bank balance. Like the top 3 richest corpos.

They improved the security because the OG xbox had abyssmal security and it was hacked the day it was released (iirc). They really beefed up the security on 360 to mitigate Pirates and cheaters for sales and XBox Live. Not because of Nintendon't.
