    TL;DR:

    • They will avoid monetization

    • They will avoid providing step-by-step guides to play games on the emulator (I assume they mean extracting games from the console using hacked tools)

    • They will avoid providing keys or circumvent DRM, you’ll have to get everything from your Switch

    • The devs are upset at how much attention they’re getting which is kind of ironic considering the article.

    “We wanted to fly under the radar at the start […] It’s already much more widespread than ideal for the current stage of development.”

      Which is how emulation worked the last 20 years. It flew under the radar because they weren’t doing anything explicitly illegal, while also avoiding getting paid or having anything point at you.

      Yuzu flew too close to the sun. I’m sorry, but they did. They very brazenly operated like they were challenging Nintendo. They werent just emulating games from last Gen but modern Gen games that just came out. Like it or not, that is taking money from Nintendo and it was obvious they were going to get the hammer.

      For me I’m mad at them. Mad because their cavalier attitude made all emulation look the same as piracy, which it isn’t. There’s a clear dividing line and Yuzu came very close to labeling all emulation as piracy.
