Yuzu may or may not go to trial - this is breaking news as I created it.Citra is down along with it.... But it doesn't end here.In this video I lay out why t...
Even more so they were running a patreon for early access which will always make capital want to fuck you up. They also had the unfortunate pleasure of being in some Valve Steamdeck ad stuff which quickly got scrubbed by Gabe. Nintendo is scared of their hardware monopoly being taken more than anything.
Yeah part of what keeps this stuff safe is that it is developed for free and isn’t being profited off of. Putting early access behind a paywall is kinda a smoking gun for the court. That just feels like an incredible boneheaded decision especially with a console that is still in production.
You can tell Nintendo does not give a shit if you make money off old consoles because of the absolute proliferation of preloaded devices on ebay and amazon. We all know capital protects capital and when “fully loaded” Kodi boxes were a thing in the 2010s. They got shut down with a swiftness. Personally I think Nintendo is scared of Steam Deck and its other cheaper versions because of how close the experience is and to do anything close to it is suicide right now.
They’re probably more afraid of Android devices to be honest. Handheld PCs are niche products while people are massively more likely to have expensive phones that can emulate Switch games
It’s wild that they had 2 million+ dollars, like maybe these people were treating it like a job, which is the only way I can rationalize them needing even close to that amount of money, but goes to show even though they were open source devs, they were trusting patreon and discord not to just hand over their personal information, and I’m guessing that’s exactly what ended up happening.
The Ryujinx devs also have a patreon that’s making a fair amount of money per month, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they get got as well. I’m not a big crypto person, but isn’t this the exact use case for it? Why in the world would you use Patreon when you’re doing something tangential to piracy that will put you in a gigantic company’s crosshairs.
What is funny about settlements is that everything about them is structured even the announcements down to the payment schedule. The 2M could be a lie and we would never know that. Sometimes they use these figures to scare other projects and give it that chilling effect. Odds are since everything is going easy the people running Yuzu wont have to pay anything bedsides what was on the books which was probably not even close to 2M.
You’re probably right, I definitely could have misunderstood, but making 5 figures a month on patreon adds up, still quite a lot of money for what it was.

Does it actually say anywhere that they had 2.4 million? I assumed it’s just a sum dictated by Nintendo
