Well I suppose you also need to be prepared for intimidation and self-hostable Github

Exactly.

Was Ryujinx taken down?

Same thing that’s kept all the other emulators from being taken down: not being illegal.

It does but that’s beside the point. We’re discussing a hypothetical future.

100 subscriber is NBD. Let’s talk when you have thousands or even millions of active users. At some point you’re going to hit a wall if you were to hypothetically scale up. Costs of service would need to be covered somehow.

The sustainability argument stems from technological constraints. YouTube as a company has no problem sustaining millions of dollars in server infrastructure to serve media. Most self-hosters wouldn’t be able to do that without significant income.

I don’t agree with this perspective but also don’t know enough about server infrastructure or video streaming to argue against it.

Yeah I pirate all the games that:

• Require an internet connection
• Use Denuvo
• Require a dedicated launcher
• Require a connected account

If you’re going to make the paid experience significantly worse than the free one because you want to implement anti-consumer BS, go fuck yourself
