Yuzu was accepting money for early access and also had compatibility specifically for leaked games before their release

Yeah the folks behind Yuzu made some really bad calls as the emu got more popular.

Do these devs ABSOLUTELY deserve to get paid for their incredible work, allowing me to play BOTW at 4k60? Of course!

Adding in code that allows a new, UNRELEASED, Zelda game to run, then paywalling the latest version of the emulator with this code, puts you directly in a lawsuit’s crosshairs.

Then on top of that they didn’t cover their tracks of discussing their testing of TotK in dev discord (might have been a different platform, can’t remember) chats, providing a clear paper trail that they were breaking the law to Nintendo the second they could get a subpoena.
