Honestly the majority of people using Yuzu were pirating software. Nintendo knows it. Yuzu knows it. This is why they settled out of court. Downvote away, but we all know it's the truth. Good on Nintendo for putting a stop to it.
But it has a legal use case that only the small percentage of users use it for, so it has to be legal to profit off of it!
This was always going to be the outcome once they monitized it. The reason dolphin is left alone is because it's FOSS.
What did they expect? You're running a high profile emulator even used publicly by massive streamers on a current gen system. On top of that Nintendo is the Disney of video games rabidly attacking anything unofficially using their IPs. The shocked Pikachu face by Yuzu pirates is hilarious. Sony would have done the exact same thing had a high profile PS5 emulator sprung into existence.
Y'all are fucking pirating. The simplest answer is always the correct one when it comes to people. This isn't a complex issue. Like it or not it made sense for Nintendo to shut it down.
