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.
I got freaking crucified for this sentiment the day the news dropped.

This claim has the same vibe as "stand your ground" assaults.
For me I'm mad at them.
And victim blaming??
No he's right, Yuzu's Devs were openly encouraging piracy. It was all over their discord.
That's why they settled so quickly, they were fucked otherwise.
Source? Is there proof to the claim? I didn't see it, but I wasnt on the discord. Heck I didn't even see it in the settlement info. Not saying its not possible, I just dont trust nonsourced claims.
I don't know why you're getting down voted, it's completely reasonable to ask for sources.
Essentially, the Devs were writing articles and posting messages about games working before they were officially released. As in, before people have legal means to purchase them.
You might argue that it's not uncommon for people to get pre orders early, sure, but this is clearly pushing it.

Here's an example, look at the tweet referenced which shows an except from the legal filing: https://twitter.com/gamr12/status/1765098920521461869

Oh no, piracy in emulation. How unique.
