Rumor has it people of Yuzu got a bit cocky on their discord server and said some things they should not have to their patreons. It's not too far fetched Nintendo's Ninja Lawyers were monitoring those discords for a while and building up their case.

You'd be surprised how many people think they are safe just because they are on a private discord server. 

It's over.

Ryujinx devs better not make the same mistakes Yuzu devs did lol.

AFAIK, Ryujinx is now the only, at least notable, Switch emulator.

That was quick.

The moment they got dirt on them, t'was the moment this was over for them. Didn't help that they grew to such an extent that they were gonna become a primary market.

Nonetheless, the emulator code is open source so you'll probably see another group in the meantime try work things around it.

Ryujinx's gonna be fine in the meantime, unless they proceed to do the exact same mistakes as Yuzu's did hahaha.

Hard to justify switch emulation, given the hardware and software are readily available.

Citra for 3DS is also shutting down. Message from the Yuzu people:

" Hello yuz-ers and Citra fans: We write today to inform you that yuzu and yuzu’s support of Citra are being discontinued, effective immediately.

yuzu and its team have always been against piracy. We started the projects in good faith, out of passion for Nintendo and its consoles and games, and were not intending to cause harm. But we see now that because our projects can circumvent Nintendo’s technological protection measures and allow users to play games outside of authorized hardware, they have led to extensive piracy. In particular, we have been deeply disappointed when users have used our software to leak game content prior to its release and ruin the experience for legitimate purchasers and fans.

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

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

Does that mean citra core in retroarch will be removed? That would suck.

I didn't even know they were made by the same people. But looks like they need to end it all.
