This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. The website is still up, though.

I see the Patreon gated facilitation things like EmuDeck and Emulation Station, being the low hanging fruit Nintendo's lawyers reach for next. Easy path to profiting from facilitating IP infringement.

Ryujinx at least doesn't make it 'too easy' and AFAIK isn't profiting, so perhaps a battle Nintendo walks away from with a stern attempt at a C&D and focus elsewhere.
