Yuzu Emulator Settles Lawsuit with Nintendo, Agrees to End Development

Yuzu emulator developers agree to pay Nintendo $2.4 million to settle piracy lawsuit. They admit Yuzu was primarily designed to circumvent Nintendo's copy protection measures.

Yuzu support and development is ending immediately in response. The developers say they aim to take a stand against video game piracy.

The settlement states that Yuzu functions by using Nintendo's cryptographic keys without authorization, violating DMCA.

Yuzu brought in $30k per month on Patreon, but legal fees could have exceeded $2.4 million if it went to trial.

Nintendo has a history of aggressively going after entities that enable piracy of its games and systems, including emulator developers.
