    FTA : The devs also clarified that they are doing this for nonprofit (there's no Patreon) and do not condone piracy.

    I think this is the key lesson. This is not a money making venture. Switch is expected to be supported until ~2027. I would assume that ones the device is sunset, this or any other emulation project will have less issues preserving its legacy.

      Agreed. Yuzu emulating a currently shipping flagship platform from a historically litigious company was risky. Trying to explicitly monetize it was downright reckless.

      Sadly, the inevitable response put all of retro emulation in a bad light to the general public.

    Seems they lost their host on gitlab due to DMCA takedown
