They don't want people to play their old games either. Nintendo creates an artificial scarcity by only occasionally releasing older titles to their newer consoles, despite that those older titles are quite literally running on emulators... Emulators that use a lot of the open source code the community they hate has created.

I might. Was quite a number of years ago when this was a hot topic on GBATemp when someone looked at the code of the NES mini.

How is it greedy if they don't want their current system games to be stolen?
Emulation isn’t inherently theft. Nintendo leverages emulation themselves.

Last I checked, no company wants any of their games to be played for free.

And yet there's an incredibly high demand for playing old Nintendo games. When Nintendo occasionally sells emulated old games on newer consoles, they tend to sell pretty well. The NES and the SNES mini were much sought after abd best-sellers.
So imagine if Nintendo offers the games in their entire retro library (that they are licensed to offer) with an official emulator for people to buy. That would evaporate the piracy of retro Nintendo games pretty quickly.
However, Nintendo doesn't want that. They like completely manufactured, artificial scarcity. And so there's piracy. A lot of piracy.

Sure, but that still doesn't address what I said. No company wants their IPs stolen.

It does. Piracy is a service issue. The games exist. They're easy to emulate. Company tries to pull off artificial scarcity. Players become pirates

This original post was about ryujinx, a switch emulator.
There's no scarcity at all for switch games.

Nintendo hates all emulators. Ryujinx is just another one on their chopping block.
