So much of this is fucking bullshit. It's a settlement you fucking dunce, that means there's no precedent set. So much of isn't even mentioned in the settlement. If you want to add any of that back, cite a source instead of pulling it out of your asshole.
:'''Action:''' Lawsuit against the for-profit LLC that manages Yuzu and its Patreon
:'''Reason:''' Emulation and personal backups itself (mentioned in passing), Encouraging and engaging in piracy of unreleased leaked games and prominently profiting off it, Yuzu not including AES keys but using them to load encrypted game images, using Nintendo imagery to promote their patreon. Comparisons presenting the emulator as the better alternative. Included guides for unlocking the protection of Switch hardware on the emulator website.
:'''Outcome:''' Settlement. Both Citra (also under the same team and LLC) and Yuzu's online presence and development is discontinued. Developers Tropic Haze was ordered to pay Nintendo $2.4m, retire from all emulation projects (even mGBA and Dolphin)developing Yuzu or assisting Citra with development, issue statements denouncing emulation (in public) and claiming any emulation that deals with AES keys is illegal (in front of a federal judge, in an attempt to build up a legal precedent, despite cases like Accolade vs. Sega where similar protection circumvention wasn't deemed illegal because it preserves competitivity and interoperability - also protected by the DMCA itself), submit telemetry information to Nintendo, submit personal Switch hardware, avoid discovery (for even worse shady stuff specific to the Yuzu/Citra project) and run off with their personal salaries from the project in the sunset.
