Well, for one thing, I never said it was a positive. I didn’t use that word, nor did I even imply it.

You are saying it's going to have the opposite effect of what Nintendo wants (curtailing emulation), so your claim is that this is going to make emulation more widespread. Correct me if I misunderstood.

Look at LibreOffice.

I never disagreed that a fork can end up good. I said Yuzu shutting down won't help emulation.

This statement literally proves my point. The binaries still exist in some repos, like the Arch extras repo.

Your claim was that this is "increased awareness to the average person". How are you mixing "average person" and "Arch extras repo"? The average person uses Windows, Googles "yuzu" and doesn't find anything clear. This was my point, it brought awareness to me and I saw myself that Yuzu is no longer accessible to the average person.

Please explain how Nintendo is worse off now if that's really what you think. All your arguments boil down to "this means nothing in the long term, emulation is going to be fine", which I agree with. I still don't see how this is having "the opposite effect" though.
