Now, game developers for the Nintendo Switch consoles can use the game protection system against emulation that Denuvo announced a year ago. The team emphasized that even if a game is protected on PC, the Nintendo Switch version can be emulated from day one and played on PC so they they suggest using their protection system to avoid emulation.
The company states they want to help game development "increase their revenue during the game launch window, which is the most important period for monetization."
"As gamers, we know first-hand how piracy negatively affects the gaming industry. We’re thrilled to be part of the Nintendo Developers Portal, so that we can provide the latest technologies to help fight this issue for Nintendo Switch players and developers," said Doug Lowther, CEO of Irdeto. "We witness an increasing need to protect against emulation on PC from game launch, our solution is a must-have for publishers to monetize the games fairly on this platform and also not impact PC game sales."
