I wish it was this dramatic, I wonder if Sony executives are even aware of what's happening. I certainly hope they feel the pressure.

Edit:

Fight for what matters to you, even if it isn't this. If we dont show and use our teeth, we will be trampled over by these giants.

My guess is they're realizing what Nintendo tried to do is futile with how advanced AI coding is getting.

"We successfully shut down a major emulator platform!"

To be fair, in Nintendo's case, shutting down emulators still fragments development as emu devs are more spread out. Some will quit or split teams.

Like, Eden is currently the most activly developed Switch 1 Emulator but a lot of its development stalled for a while. In contrast to say, the RPCS3 team or Dolphin Team who were able to cook non-stop. Switch 1 Emulation would have been farther along if Nintendo hadn't nuked a lot of the more popular ones.
