Emulating Nintendo Switch Games on Linux

They're right to be paranoid. Nintendo is one of the few game companies that's extremely aggressive about protecting their IP (particularly when it comes to emulation and ROMs). They've forced a lot of sites to stop distributing ROMs of games for their consoles and I don't doubt they'd come down with a massive life-ending hammer if they caught whiff of piracy in the Switch emulation scene.

In my experience, most game companies are fairly aggressive about protecting their IP. Actually, many content distributors in general.

If you say that, then I don't think you've paid attention to what they did to ROM sites in recent years. No other company has been as aggressive as they've been on this front.
