Yuzu were scuzzy as fuck. There’s a thread in /r/emulation where one of their members admits to the project stealing code from Ryujinx and then whines like a little baby over getting called out on it, claiming that it’s okay to steal open-source code without attribution.
It was less than 2 days that Yuzu made their announcement. They didn’t carefully consider shit, they had their exit plan in case Nintendo came knocking and it was to run for the hills like cowards wasting the opportunity to set a real precedent and possibly protecting the future of other emulation projects.
And they were a company, all liability rested with the company, not the people running it, so they could have easily run it into the ground fighting and then went “whoopsy” and declared bankruptcy like so many companies have done
Right. If the company keeps their money, they have money, for money things. Like giving the staff money, to make others products for money.
If they stack all their money, shove it up a lawyer’s ass, and send them waddling in the Nintendo front door, they apparently have bravery, but, alas, no money.
It would be poor leadership to “go into the ground”.
Yuzu, and before any of their apologists come on here, they were a company that reportedly had millions in the bank and could have fought.

What’s millions to Nintendo? Yuzu’s a business at it’s core. they are designed to make money
So is Pocketpair.
Right and their current assessment (from their legal team) clearly is that they have a case to defend themselves.
Yuzu, based on their actions, determined they didn’t.
Edit as such, spending the money would have been just burning it.
It’s not bravery

Blatantly incorrect. They jumped on the sword to protect a legal precedent concerning emulation.
If the courts had ruled in favor of Nintendo, guess what? That means ALL emulators are on the chopping block. All of them. They knew.
Once you have case history to back you up, it becomes a domino effect.
This has absolutely nothing to do with cowardice.
Oh yeaaaa they had a whole patreon pulling in like 50k a month right? Wild
