A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

There's no legal precedent, it was settled out of court

Court cases shouldn't be allowed to be settled out of court after a certain point.

Wym? Nintendo formerly filed the lawsuit just a few days ago and then Yuzu rolled right over...

I mean I get it, but if they had 2Mil to settle, they could have fought Nintendo, I know that 2 million wouldn't have seen them to the end, but im sure an organization like EFF could have assisted from there
