After consulting with an unnamed “someone with legal experience” (Sharpie would only say “they claimed three years of law school”), the Suyu development team has decided to avoid "any monetization”
Yeah, monetizing it was a real choice on yuzu’s part lmao
Most emulators have patreon or other forms of monetization. The rulings which set the precedent that emulators are legal were about commercial emulators.
I really don’t think this was about the money, instead it was about how open yuzu devs were talking about piracy and distributing copyrighted material in their discord.
I believe money wasn’t even mentioned by Nintendo. Additionally, Nintendo shuts down projects regardless of whether they make any money or are just small fan-projects for decades-old games.
Lol even someone without 3 years in law would have been like “hell no not worth it” Nintendo is litigation geared, for sure.
Nintendo will do their best to sue, err, Suyu.
I don’t think non-monetization will help avoid it. IMHO it’s more about if Suyu has the resources to fight back legally. I don’t think so.
Then it’ll be time for Saya. Endless like the Michael Scott paper company.
What is ryujinx doing right? An awful name?
How’s Ryujinx an awful name? It can be interpreted as “Dragon King X”
I constantly mistype Ryujinx as Ryunix, Riujynx and similar. Pronouncing the name correctly is pretty much the only way for me to correctly spell it, at least that’s been the case for a long time.
Yuzu should be pretty simple to remember, regardless of which language someone speaks.
Well, making things only memorable to specific language speaker will lead lack of cultural exchange and potentially loss of non-popular culture.
That name is quite the statement 😅
