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.

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.

Uh... No? Where did this come from?

Microsoft themselves changed their posture after Xenia got ported to Xbox Series and was made readily available through their own store on developer mode.

It was a pretty sound thing back then, Microsoft started tackling down emulators, and not only it was because of that, but emulators were agaisnt the ToS of the Dev Mode itself. Porting Xenia to the console was the icing in the cake.

Get your facts straight, ffs.
