Well, that didn't last long did it. After a first release, GitLab have already pulled down the Nintendo Switch emulator suyu, due to a DMCA hit as a result of it being forked from yuzu which Nintendo shut down.

Nintendo really digging their own grave on this one.

I don’t think this is nintendo’s doing.

“We have determined that you forked a public repo against which we previously received a DMCA notice.”

From the email from gitlab, this sounds like gitlab being overly cautious and removing all forks themselves.

I doubt their core client even knows about this

Not really. They get big headlines to scare people off and make it more difficult for casual people to get started. They don’t need to make it impossible for everyone, just impractical for most.
