If these guys were making money off their emulator then it's not surprising in the least that Nintendo gutted them.
Three trick to being a parasite is that you can't attract the hosts attention in any way. If you start eating the hosts food they goanna swat you.
What kinda fucken bootlicky head-ass take is that?
I think it's pretty accurate. Nintendo is super protective of their IP and they don't like others profiting from it in any way.
Bleem was also paid software. I think people are forgetting that, at the time, downloading software over the Internet wasn’t super common. Software was distributed with discs. In a box. At the store. Which sold things. For money.
