By now you are more than likely aware of the end of Yuzu, the Nintendo Switch emulator, due to a lawsuit from Nintendo itself. It’s been almost 2 months since the Yuzu developers and Nintendo reached a settlement shortly after the lawsuit was announced. However, even though Yuzu’s development is over, Nintendo isn’t done with the emulator yet.
Nintendo seems to want Yuzu to disappear completely. They’ve issued a DMCA notice to GitHub, where Nintendo is demanding the removal of 8,535 Yuzu clones, forks, mirrors and more. The number comes directly from GitHub’s notice of Nintendo’s DMCA takedown request. They said that “because the reported network containing the allegedly infringing content was greater than one hundred (100) repositories, and the submitter alleged that all or most of the forks were infringing to the same extent as the parent repository, GitHub processed the download -notice of missing the entire network of 8,535 repositories, including the parent repository”.
