To bad, GPLv3 already has all the precedence and legal backing needed to keep going, Suyu lives, I wonder what the project will be renamed to next? đ
And suyu will continue to live until they do what yuzu did and try to profit and do things illegally.

There's no need to profit from it anymore, donations exist, Nintendo created a Streisand effect.
Emulators are fine for personal use, if you are accepting donations, itâs no longer for personal use and youâve done your illegal actionâŚ..
Why do you think the ones that donât accept donations arenât being targetedâŚ? Because they are currently in a gray area. Once you start doing illegal actions⌠they get taken out.
That's factually incorrect. They've gone after Dolphin whom explicitly don't accept donations. Then there's, Ryujinx, Cemu, Libretro/RetroArch, emuDeck, etc. that accept donations. This again comes down to the GPLv3 which doesn't restrict the selling of binaries of the legal code nor restrict donations. Infact if one is only accepting donations, your company by U.S. copyright law are a nonprofit.
uhh⌠Dolphin uses the Wii key, thatâs what they did wrong⌠each one has done an illegal activity that has lead to them being pursued.
Its really not a hard concept to try and grasp here, sorry.
Nothing about my previous comment is âfactuallyâ incorrect. Which specific part do you think I was wrong about, and provide a source to disclaim it if you want to try and make a point.
A lot of those apps are actual âdonationsâ as well, not a patreon with locked emulator contentâŚ. If you canât comprehend the differences of whatâs being done, why the fuck are you discussing?
GPL has nothing to with donations⌠thatâs what makes the emulator defense invalid for copyright, youâre only protected for personal use. Can you please stop conflating these very simple thingsâŚâŚ?
Then why hasn't Nintendo fallowed through and killed Dolphin yet? If it's illegal, then why haven't they continued trying to sue Dolphin?
Because they are fighting it instead of rolling over like YuzuâŚ.?
Why are we going back over the same shit again? If you donât have anything more to try and defend Yuzu who fucked up, are we doneâŚ?
Again, factually wrong. Dolphin removed itself off the steam store to satisfy Nintendo, however it's still on the Google play store and Apple app store and actively developed so why doesn't Nintendo keep coming?
Also, Churches are non-profit, KDE Community are non-profit, Gnome is non-profit, FSF is non-profit, and so on. All of which collect donations. What makes an emulator start-up company any different in this regard?âŚ. Steam asked Nintendo if it was okay, and they cited the Wii key and said no, so Steam delisted it. Dolphin did nothing, and there was no DMCA claim either.
Donât claim Iâm false and spout a wrong one yourself lol.
You have no clue how the GPLv3 works, nor U.S. Copyright law. Please stop pretending like you do.
