      There never was a issue, Nintendo just made shit up and a open source organization doesn’t have money for a big lawsuit, even though they would have won.

        I doubt the settlement amount came close to what the legal fees would have cost. They knew they were going to lose.

          Any court process is a great burden. People don’t evade it only if they think and are sure they will lose.

          On the inverse, many sure-to-win proceedings never occur because it’s a high barrier and a time- and money-costly process and so people don’t see it as worth pursuing.

            You’re not saying anything I haven’t already addressed in the comment you replied to. The Yuzu settlement was $2.4M. That’s more than enough to cover a good attorney’s fees for several years.
