If the Gamehook developer was involved in developing for Tropic Haze (Yuzu) in any fashion at all, no matter how small, then the settlement agreement from the Nintendo/Yuzu lawsuit may have come into play. Anyone who so much as looked at that project in the wrong way is permanently enjoined from participating in a wide range of activities involving any sort of software that touches anything Nintendo, including bypassing technological protections that are not usually covered by the DMCA.

Some gruff encouragement - I love your passion for your overlays, and that enthusiasm is contagious for sure. That said... I've never once watched anyone's Pokemon content for their overlay. You have SO many things going for you as a Poketuber - your analytical mind, your rich voice, your work ethic, your dry humor, the standard of quality you set. Your videos are fantastic even if i'm 10 feet away washing dishes, just listening. You are Scott Mother-Flippin Thoughts, and you are bigger than any overlay. You run this town. I'm confident that you'll come out stronger than ever from this setback, because that's the energy you give off.

But Nintendo is shutting down the 3ds store AND citra. So either you pay a scalper absurd money for what might not even work, or you don't get to play old games. They overstepped and honestly maybe Nintendo should be in trouble for their actions. Bullying smaller creators and treating people like dollar signs.

My suggestion Scott is to ensure you personally have a backup of the program files to be safe. As someone who might have had to work on software that no longer exists (or is old enough to remember such programs) for the public I usually make multiple copies in order to ensure their future usability. I've definitely been there in terms of the bummer feeling you're having right now. It's unfortunate you had to make this video, but it's very important you did for the fans who regularly follow your content. I'd suggest, since some people follow your every video, and some people follow your streams regularly instead, to bring up this topic to open the next couple videos before challenges. I know you would probably prefer not to rehearse this, but I think it would significantly reduce on the "why this" questions you'll inevitably receive from the next few live streams as this video gets buried. I'd suggest it be your front page video for awhile but I don't think that's a good advertisement of your channel and doesn't sell the happy funtimes you share with your fanbase. But it would probably at least tackle random passerby questions for a time. All that's entirely up to you of course and is just friendly suggestions to help you!

You have inspired me to re-play pokémon in new and fun ways, yet I've personally never touched the software, because it is not needed to enjoy the games or your well-made content that you upload. It is sad to lose something that you were relying on to make your days making this content easier, and I do hope you manage to solve this issue best as possible, and if you need to upload less frequently while figuring things out, that is OK.

But yes, you're right about the sandbox=skyrim, story=morrowind and oblivion being in between the two. I'll add that I would always recommend morrowind over oblivion ONLY if you enjoy 90s style rpgs and/or grew up playing those sort of games. It's easily a far superior game overall, but even the memory of shooting a bow or swinging a sword and clearly hitting, and still missing, is enough to turn myself and a lot of people off the combat after playing games with actual hitboxes for the past 20 years.
