After consulting with an unnamed “someone with legal experience” (Sharpie would only say “they claimed three years of law school”), the Suyu development team has decided to avoid "any monetization”
Yeah, monetizing it was a real choice on yuzu’s part lmao
Most emulators have patreon or other forms of monetization. The rulings which set the precedent that emulators are legal were about commercial emulators.
I really don’t think this was about the money, instead it was about how open yuzu devs were talking about piracy and distributing copyrighted material in their discord.
I believe money wasn’t even mentioned by Nintendo. Additionally, Nintendo shuts down projects regardless of whether they make any money or are just small fan-projects for decades-old games.

Lol even someone without 3 years in law would have been like “hell no not worth it” Nintendo is litigation geared, for sure.
