Apparently they're pre-empting aggressive trademark bullshit.

Emulation isn't piracy.
Where did I say they did?
I said the steam deck runs some better.
Those fuckers can move.
Doom looked awful on the switch. It took an extremely heavy dose of adaptive resolution, with a bunch of effects rendered at 360p, and heavy motion blur just to get the game to function at 30FPS.
And it's a game that uses very careful design to run extremely well on very old PC hardware.
You can't compare a console to an Android tablet. They didn't give developers any reason to target the shield tablet; of course there weren't going to be any games. And the built in controllers to make it a handheld were what made the switch the switch anyways.
Switch games never at any point looked current gen. They could support some games with current gen mechanics, in a handheld form factor. The switch had no path to success if it wasn't a handheld. There are some people who only use it docked, but nowhere near enough that it was remotely possible to build enough momentum for third party support.
Microsoft has their own strengths. If they had made the Switch, there would have been less compelling first party games, but there would have been a lot more early third party buy in and it would have been a wash. Ultimately the fact that it was a viable handheld capable of some meaningful 3D worlds would have sold it.
If that hardware was the first handheld gaming device capable of playing some small selection of 3D current gen games? It absolutely would have been successful.
Being Nintendo didn't make the Wii U successful, because it was the worst piece of shit anyone's ever made. The switch was successful because it was a good handheld.
They see no issue paying now.
When there's no content left they'll eventually notice it's a shit deal.
So is passing.
They shouldn't be allowed to legally call it football if they remove the kicking game
There absolutely are a significant percentage that are using their own games and I know that for a fact.
It's not everybody, but the community of emulating current games is far more about getting a massively better experience than it is about piracy. The switch hardware is awful and massively limits their games.
If Nintendo made their games available on PC, emulation would drop massively.
