Yet another emulator bites the dust, in the aftermath of the Tropic Haze/Yuzu vs. Nintendo case. Pizza Boy, a $5.49 paid app on the Google Play Store, has been taken down and is no longer available for purchase. Developer Davide made an announcement post explaining that he has permanently removed his app from the Play Store, citing the reasoning as, "I have chosen to prioritize my family over the development of my apps." With the implication that he has not been forced to delist his emulator, but has chosen to do so as a precaution after other emulator developers have been affected. Currently, several other paid GBA/GBC emulators are still available on the Play Store, including John GBA, My Boy!, and Nostalgia.GBA.

:/
NGL, I feel like these people are becoming cowards. I honestly doubt Nintendo is going to go after every emulator

No, but do you want to risk being sued, and thus risking your entire livelihood/kid's futures to the whims of a Nintendo lawyer?

 

[syrusch]

Not worth the risk. Family first

What the hell is going on? One of, if not THE best Android GBA emulator... Really? Dang..

I'm 5'4, I would lose the case on that alone

I hope Dolphin isn't gonna be removed too...

Good thing I got this Pizza whilst it was still hot, along with DraStic.

For fuck's sake Nintendo STOP - you're not directly related here, so STOP SCARING PEOPLE.

Another weakling, it seems we are in a big filtering moment.

Welp, time for a refund.

So this makes 2 paid apps being taken down. But how many free ones from the play store...?

I can see why anyone charging for their stuff is concerned about Nintendo. They should be...

 

[samedifference]

What the hell is wrong with you? Some people value life more than ones and zeroes, the fact you walk around acting like this just shows how selfish you are. You may act like a badass behind your fancy display, but when push comes to shove, you certainly wouldn't be like this if you were directly impacted in a similar regard to this. Who am I kidding though, you likely have zero values in life and just don't give a shit about anything or anyone except yourself. I seriously hope you get your head straight one day.

Everyone has at least one value in life - financial value. Also environmental impact value, I suppose.

Some people just need a cast iron across their head, because it's pretty clear their screws are loose. Maybe that will give better establishment of the right kinds of value.

I didn't think Yuzu's downfall would be a weakling shakedown, but here we are

Alright, I'm fed up with this, those saying developers are weak for pulling out and what not, screw you and the horse you rode in on. As I have said before, not everyone has a money tree in their backyard to fight legal battles, especially the kind that requires good lawyers and such against a company like Nintendo, and again, some people value their lives more than ones and zeroes. You seem to have some fucked up mental issues if you are this selfish over stupid software. Emulators come and go, you act like another one won't be made in the future. I swear this Yuzu situation is bringing the ugliest crap for people out, and quite frankly you need to go back under the rock you came from and just stay there.

I have no idea why people are becoming more cancerous, but this seriously needs to stop. It's just software for crying out loud, it's not that damn important.

 

[dragonmaster]

it is all a matter of perspective, if the devs where russian , european , chinese no reason of fear would be possible as the laws are vastly different in these matters against the usa law....

Of the ones and zeroes, i'm a zero.

Like shaking a tree.

It's soo sad but understandable. I still have it downloaded but I hadn't even purchased the pro version
