Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu will utterly fold and pay $2.4M to settle its lawsuit

Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans, We are writing to you today to inform you that Yuzu and Yuzu’s support of Citra will be discontinued effective immediately.

Yuzu and her team have always been against piracy. We began the projects in good faith, out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and we had no intention of causing harm. But now we see that because our projects can bypass Nintendo’s technological protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they have led to widespread piracy. In particular, we were deeply disappointed when users used our software to leak game content before its release and ruin the experience for legitimate buyers and fans.

We have come to the decision that we cannot continue to allow this to happen. Piracy was never our intention and we believe that piracy of video games and video game consoles should end. Starting today, we will be taking our code repositories offline, discontinuing our Patreon accounts and Discord servers, and soon shutting down our websites. We hope that our actions are a small step towards ending piracy of the works of all creators.

Thank you for your years of support and for understanding our decision.
