I was being a dick for sure, but there was no bitterness behind it. My shot at Citra's devs was based on my perception of the current state of their emulator, not because I didn't agree with the development of it. It doesn't matter to me that a drug addict is responsible for their addiction - I won't sell him/her drugs, because I am actively contributing to their self harm. But believing everything is black and white is part of the problem - everyone tends to see the 'white' as everything that's easy, or what they're already doing, and everyone tends to see the 'black' as 'everyone else's responsibility' to get right. This 'individual responsibility' that you speak of is not invalid, of course. If you provide a means for people to play games that are still being sold, you (when I say 'you,' I mean 'they') can hide behind completely innocent or even morally grey motivations all you want, but the end result is, what have you contributed to the world? You have contributed a means for people to play pirated flagship games. That is a more extreme example, but the principle still applies. Meth/heroin dealers blame the addicts, because they don't care.

Most of the evil that occurs in the world is due to apathy, not maliciousness. I also respectfully disagree with the stance 'it isn't their responsibility.' From where I'm standing, everything is everyone's responsibility. It isn't about preservation, when you can go to Wal-Mart right now and buy all of the games new. Everything you said in opposition to this view I completely agree with, unless it is a platform that is still active. I look at the situation, and that is what I see, because it is the simplest explanation. I'd have to do some serious mental gymnastics to see it differently, and I just can't do it. If you are actively working to provide the emulation community with the means to flawlessly play Nintendo's current flagship games without purchasing them, you are encouraging it. There is an ethical line in here somewhere. Honestly, that singular event made me rethink the entire thing, and take a step back. When I say that they encourage piracy, consider Nintendo's flagship 'Breath of the Wild' that was just recently released, and is already emulated by Cemu.

If you persist down a dangerous path knowing the potential consequences, on some level, yeah, I do think you kinda 'have it coming,' whatever it is - but that's not the right way to say it. I think what they are doing is unwise, and they should know better. I could have worded it better - to say they 'have it coming' is a bit ridiculous. If I am right and they are wrong, they can still make my life miserable. Would you actively and publicly develop emulators for both of Nintendo's current systems? I would not - that is a judgement call, based on what I would expect Nintendo's reaction to be, and empirical evidence. When I insinuated they have it coming, what I meant is, Nintendo has historically went after anyone they perceive as an enemy. Your entire post felt like a bitter rant based on faulty logic finished with an insult. Citra is far from perfect but it's certainly decent and under constant dev. Then you take a shot at the Citra devs simply because you don't agree with development of a Switch emu. Saying the emu enables piracy would've been more accurate. People misuse things for illegal/immoral things all the time and that's on the individual. But that's not their job to police and that shouldn't deter them from continuing their completely legal work. Will people use it for piracy? Of course. Emus are huge for homebrew scenes and preservation. As with any other emu devs they don't allow any talk about pirating roms and give you the steps to make backups of your own games. Your morals about not emulating current systems is fine but then you go on to say the devs/emu encourage piracy (moreso before you edited your post) which is complete nonsense. So insinuating they have it coming doesn't make any sense at all. They have no reason to fear a cease and desist because as you mentioned they aren't doing anything wrong or illegal. Expressing opinions are fine but yours aren't backed by any facts.
