4 hours agoNintendo succeeded in killing Yuzu because they had decryption keys which Nintendo could argue is breaking their copy protection, which is why they settled for 2.4 million dollars in sales damage
Was not it also because they have their Patreons subscribers things such as early access to leaked games?
From the article;
Nintendo’s suit also claims Yuzu’s Patreon page allows its developers to earn 30,000 a month by providing subscribers with “daily updates,” “early access,” and “special unreleased features” to games like Tears of the Kingdom by circumventing the protective measures Nintendo has in place to prevent piracy of video games.
I despise Nintendo but if this claim was true, they were earning money with pirated content, right?
Not at all. Not even for online multiplayer, I remember Yuzu had some way to play multiplayer (there’s even a whole discord server for this).
I think Nintendo is trying to scare everyone by trying to take everything down and sue. But we have seen that it does not work, it’ll just split the base once again in multiple fragments (with different emulators).
Though, it feels like the development of Switch emulation has stagnated. I don’t see improvements for current games that have trouble running on the emulators (which often both original Yuzu and Ryujinx would fix by time).
