They didn't shut down anything, they asked and people took them down voluntarily. Legally speaking that's what happened.

Not true. They filled a lawsuit against Yuzu and Citra and the developers had to pay 2.4 million dollars to Nintendo. They probably threatened the Ryujinx dev to do the same.

Yuzu was different due to how they were getting the keys. Still fucked tho.

That's correct, I thought it was just a cease and desist

So they're refunding that money, right?

Right?

A lawyer’s opinion does not constitute a legal ruling.

Technically the lawsuit was against Yuzu. Citra was shutdown by association.

Those never made it to trial, right? My understanding is they settled, because that was cheaper than the trial.
