Cemu
,→Piracy
There are anti-piracy measures on the Patreon early-access builds that are put behind the $5 tier. Backers putting out these builds can get banned if they're caught, and when the program fails verification, it locks down some features that impact performance.
Until 1.7.5 was released, one developer from Team Cemu, mudlord, spun off the project out of creative differences with the team, and in protest he put out cracked versions of early builds on his personal blog. These were also used to expose people breaching licenses for other emulators. A subreddit and Discord server was made to discuss Cemu piracy.
The official subreddit for Cemu advises against downloading unofficial "builds", saying they could be traced with malware, and it is part of their rules not to counterargue. The Cemu piracy subreddit has encountered malware authors taking advantage of this.
