Yes, better than on the Switch. (now I'm awaiting legal action from Nintendo)
Better how? The detachable joycon with accelerometer control are a mechanic in some games (eg. Zelda crossbow aim). I would imagine this would be worse experience on steam deck.
It's unbelievable how much I loath Nintendo these days. Hard to believe I use to love them growing up. I got a Nintendo switch last year from Walmart. The f*ing came used (apparently someone in the store played some Zelda in it, put it back in the box and sold to me as new). Walmart said they couldn't do anything when I emailed them about the issue. Anyways, the switch came with no games. Nothing. Zero. So, naively I…
As for your other comment, you can buy a Switch bundled with games or without games. Looks like you either bought the standalone console or the person you claimed sold you the used Switch took the game.
End result should be: emulator being legal as it is now, with ROMs being easy to purchase and download via official sources. This sounds like a dream; but given GOG’s success I guess it could actually happen.

This won't matter. The goal will be to run them out of money. It's an open source project and they most likely don't have the capital to fund any sort of lengthy lawsuit.
I really wish our system had some kind of financial handicap when it came to access to the legal system. Weaponizing the legal system to bankrupt people that would be found Not Guilty shouldn't be possible.

Amusingly Valve themselves released an official trailer for the Steam Deck which showed Yuzu installed on the homescreen. It was quickly taken down and re-posted without any references to Yuzu, probably after a panicked email from legal. https://www.pcgamer.com/valve-edits-steam-deck-trailer-to-re...
I can play Switch games on Steam Deck!?

Of course not as easy as just buying the game outright and putting in the cartridge.

Hrmm. Can you explain further? What sort of inaction would make them legally liable?
If you are aware of illegal activity being committed, have preventative measures available to you and choose not to use them then you're complicit. Similar to the approach that have been used in various jurisdictions against torrent sites.

> Yuzu can be blamed for TotK piracy But they can be legally blamed for not taking any steps to prevent it. Which means there are two avenues for Nintendo to attack this situation.
In that case, Linux creators would be liable for not taking any steps within the Linux kernel preventing you from pirating a game on the platform.
The whole point of emulation is that you want to play content for which the original hardware no longer exists. And so there is no harm being done to anyone.
This situation is obviously quite different because Nintendo is being harmed.

What I'm hearing is that it solves the problem of Nintendo being to outspend the defendant. If Nintendo brings a lawsuit and spends zero dollars on court cost, it should be rather easy for the defense to also contribute zero and the lawsuit is avoided. Problem solved.
And if Nintendo spends $10 million dollars? And Yuzu spends $25,000 and maybe wins the first case but runs out of money during the appeal and defaults judgment. Nintendo gets the pot because they won right? As I pointed out to another user, this reverses the damage if they win, but does not solve the problem of preventing them from being able to win. Now if you make it where if you want to spend $5 on lawyer fees, yo…
