The bigger deal is that development by this team has been halted, not that it will be a little harder to find a trustworthy download of the most recent version.
Yep. This is more to stop the emulation of their next console than anything else. Especially considering it's likely to be a just slightly better Switch.
Honestly, I'll think more than twice before buying that thing if it really just is a Switch refresh. Not even taking into account the fact that whether it's Yuzu or not, it'll probably be supported by a Switch emulator in a comically short time after coming out. I'm still waiting for some insider leaks ten years from now revealing the Switch was indeed just some rebranded gaming tablet. Too many half-assed features, both on the firmware/OS side of things, but also the controller connectivity and drifting. It's their worst console up to now. But damn, are their games fun.
