I'm really on the fence now on buying a console in the future. I've always bought the latest iteration and multiple games from Nintendo.

But they are turning into some lawyered slimy multi billion corporation feeding the orphan crushing machine.

If they don't operate with ethics, then neither should I.

turning into

Just FYI, Nintendo has always behaved this way. You can find stories about Nintendo suing and shutting down rom distributors for as long as roms have existed. They've also completely shut down several fan-made Pokémon games and tried going after rom hackers. They've also had a very long history of keeping their IPs completely exclusive to their platform and of reselling the same game on multiple platforms instead of allowing for backwards compatibility.

Nintendo has ALWAYS aggressively pursued IP infringement, it's not out of greed but rather that if they don't, Japanese IP law means they might lose the exclusive rights.

Anyone part of the oldschool emulation scene knows this. This isn't a new thing, and its not them being slimy.

The GitHub repo (source code) for Yuzu now returns 404. It used to be here: https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu

Well, I think I now need to dowload this.

You can't officially download it anymore. ~~If you're familiar with compiling things, there are backup forks everywhere, though.~~ A lovely Lemming posted an archive.org link to download the last builds in other comments here.

That's wild. But I guess I'm not surprised since the emulator was really good and the system is still out there selling

It's not like they aren't making money off of their games
