"Yuzu Developer Settles with Nintendo for $2.4M, Emulator to Shut Down"

Tropic Haze, the developer of the Switch emulator Yuzu, has settled with Nintendo, agreeing to pay $2.4 million in damages and cease operations of both Yuzu and the 3DS emulator Citra due to concerns about piracy. The decision comes after the emulators were found to circumvent Nintendo’s copyright protection measures, leading to extensive piracy and leaked game content. The source code for both emulators has already been removed from GitHub, and Tropic Haze has announced the discontinuation of their Patreon accounts, Discord servers, and websites.
