Why is Nintendo in particular this aggressive against emulators? Why haven't we heard of Sony going after PCSX2 and RPCS3, or Microsoft going after Xenia and Xemu?
Because none of those emulate current generation systems.
People act weirdly entitled about Nintendo product, then throw shitfits when Nintendo reacts exactly like Sony or Microsoft would to them doing the same thing.
It is likely due to age and popularity. At this point PCSX2 is the only widely popular emulator you've listed, but is older, in the same way Dolphin is old and less of a concern of harming their limelight. That isn't to say those other emulators aren't making waves lately, but there is a window between age and popularity that makes this software a prime target. Especially emulators for current gen, which has been historically very rare, and when it did exist were no where near as good as CEMU, Yuzu, and Ryujinx were.
I think this also shows how underpowered Nintendo consoles are; the Switch is essentially a slightly upgraded Wii U, which itself was only marginally better than the PS3 and Xbox 360! If Nintendo really wanted to combat piracy, all they had to do was beef up their flagship console to the point where it's hard to emulate.

Well that sucks.. I'm still pissed at Roblox for their DRM rug pull on Linux. Didn't stop the bots and hackers for more than two weeks anyways - bet Ryujinx 2.0 will be out soon too.
Anyone know if DRM is cracked on Roblox yet? Just a yes or no I can find it nevermind I'll go look
sober works.

I'm a bit salty this was apparently announced through Discord. Was it even posted anywhere else?
The future of social media is fragmented siloes, I guess.
Yeah, this is a big part of why I stopped using discord recently. Not yet sure of any alternatives but leaving is step one.

I wouldn't have an issue with many different communications platforms if they didn't all require an account (also Discord not being indexable sucks).

Yeah, why don't they send an owl to each interested party?
Some of us like to be contacted via cute and fluffy snow owls...

The last version released is 1.1.1403. Easy to find with a google search.

Imagine not developing a controversial emulator anonymously...
I've always wondered that. Why not just throw a git repo behind I2P or onto IPFS? It's like they want to be attacked.
Attention and recognition.
