People are hypothesizing that the reason they’re doing this is because the upcoming Switch 2 is more akin to the jump from the GameCube to the Wii instead of the Wii to the Wii U or the Wii U to the Awitch, where Dolphin works with both the GameCube and the Wii, while the Wii and Wii U have different enough architectures to where there was a separate Wii U emulator.
What the lawsuit claims is that Yuzu enables piracy by existing, but they don’t have ground to stand on. In order to actually play games on Yuzu, you need to either dump your own Switch’s encryption keys, or find them somewhere, neither of which is legally Yuzu’s concern, and then do the same thing with the ROM and optional DLCs for the game you’d like to play as well.
Nintendo has lost multiple times in court over emulation, this is a scare tactic because Nintendo has money and the Yuzu devs don’t.
Apparently they also had some stuff behind a paywall. That's easily the quickest way to get blown up.
