Yuzu also helped develop 3DS emulator Citra, and has immediately pulled their support of that. With immediate effect, they took down the GitHub, took down the downloads of the emulator and the Yuzu installer no longer works.
What killed them is the fact that they make 30k USD off their Patreon means Nintendo can argue they’re profiting off of piracy, and their lawyers most likely told them it’s not worth trying to fight said lawsuit.
Apparently, on their Patreon they were bragging about being able to play specific Nintendo games that haven’t even been released. They fucked up big time.
Hopefully others will pick up where they left off and not advertise the ability to pirate games.
