The Nintendo Wii Homebrew Channel drama explained

Video Description

This week, the Nintendo Wii Homebrew community was rocked by allegations of stolen Nintendo SDK code as well as new allegations of stolen code from RTEMS - an open-source real time operating system implementation found inside libogc - the open-source library that powers almost all homebrew applications. This discovery has led to the "closure" of one of the most popular homebrew apps - The Wii Homebrew Channel. But are these allegations legitimate and if so, what does this mean for the future of Wii homebrew? Will Nintendo attempt to stamp out Wii homebrew once and for all? Highly unlikely in my opinion. Let's discuss what drama has transpired and what the likely outcome will be.
