How about several decades worth of emulators that Nintendo hasn’t touched? As the article points out, Yuzu both profited off their emulator and had step by step guides on how to pirate games. Emulators are legal, piracy is not. Nintendo suing Yuzu was not surprising or a change in precedent. Other emulators are not concerned by this because they play by the rules, and I don’t see why we should be worried about decades of precedence changing when yuzu was sued on grounds that every other emulator maker already knew were red lines.
When you provide an emulator you simply have to say “we do not condone piracy, this emulator is for hobbyist use only”. Then let one of the hundreds of community resources provide the actual piracy instructions where Nintendo has to play whack a mole instead.
Only one way to find out. Hopefully we don’t find out.

With the CLA still in place they’re daring Nintendo to sue.
