TL;DR
- Nintendo targeted Switch emulators on GitHub with DMCA takedown requests last month.
- Eden developers claim that GitHub ignored the legal steps taken to insulate the project.
- While the project may never return to GitHub, a cloned repository allows work to continue.
A hundred years from now the sun will still rise in the east, and Nintendo will still be fighting tooth-and-nail to protect its IP. That’s meant taking an aggressive stance against unauthorized emulators, particularly when we’re talking about its most recent (and still very profitable) consoles like the Switch. A couple weeks back, Nintendo launched its latest volley, sending out DMCA infringement notices to all the big Switch emulators hosting their projects on GitHub. And now we’re getting an update on what the future’s going to look like from the team behind Eden.
