I think the issue was the devs assisted in getting leaked copies of games to run. That's proof they were using pirated games and not legal copies like they claimed. There's nothing wrong with using an emulator to run a legal copy of your game (although im sure IP holders would still give you a hard time), but the devs saying they patched their emulator to run Breath of the Wild before it's even officially on sale necessarily means they broke the law.
