Just last week, on Tuesday, February 26th, 2024, news broke out about the Yuzu emulator team being sued by none other than Nintendo themselves, with Nintendo claiming that the emulator apparently allowed users to play certain games early (due to street dates being broken) and also allowing...
So, are Yuzu developers actually have $2.4M lying around, or will they pay for it in installment like Gary Bowser?
they were making 30k/mo for a while, so for sure they can pay some of it off.
Some people estimates they net ~$1.2M on patreon so far. If that’s the case they still ~$1.2M short.
Usually in a civil case you’d just settle for whatever money the devs had lying around.
The fact that they quickly agreed to this amount tells you all you need to know about how much money they - personally - made from the patreon.
No wonder Nintendo got this so easily, unlike the other emulators they went after. With that kind of cash, good luck arguing in front of a judge that you’re not running Yuzu as a commercial business.
Yes it tells me all I need to know: that they don’t care about the amount because they are going to declare bankruptcy anyway, since Yuzu is an LLC.
