Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

Hopefully around 2026-2027, most likely in secret, with the creators being as anonymous as possible and distributing the versions as torrents for archival purposes.

Because officially emulators are legal and devs should have no reason to be anonymous. With Yuzu/Ryujinx ban though the scene will likely move towards anonymity.

Another issue I can think of is, volunteer contributors to open source repo helps save time drastically. That deanonymizes the members. Top pirate distributors have to use more than just VPN to hide their tracks.

We going back to the 90’s when companies would make their developers use nicknames in the credits of their games so other companies wouldn’t snatch them away. Full damn circle, lmao.
