Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu will utterly fold and pay $2.4M to settle its lawsuit
www.theverge.com
Just about a week after getting sued.

This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu’s website and Citra’s website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

    Because you’re using the system outside of its intended purpose to break the law. That’s basically the definition of hacking.

    I’m not sure why it being illegal to sell a tool to do that is a hard concept to grasp for so many people.

    I’m not against emulation or pirating, but no shit this was going to happen eventually.

      The electronic key I purchased and collected from my own hardware is “hacking” because Nintendo’s doesn’t intend it? Maybe the legality of selling a tool to get the key is a hard concept to grasp because the premise is objectionable. If a Switch makes a good doorstop then it will be doing it’s “intended purpose” if that’s what I intend for my property.

      I’m against companies having unjust control over our own computing.
