Last week, Nintendo's lawsuit against Tropic Haze, the developer of the NS emulator Yuzu, sparked heated discussions among players. But what everyone didn't expect was that the case was brought to a conclusion so quickly.
Tropic Haze announced that it had reached an out-of-court settlement with Nintendo, halting the development of Yuzu, closing the related ** and ** channels, and paying Nintendo $2.4 million in compensation. What is quite embarrassing is that foreign media reported that Tropic Haze had just invited a team of lawyers to seek assistance. Therefore, some players joked that the lawyer probably told them to surrender directly to pay a little less ......
According to the documents signed by the lawyers of both parties, Tropic Haze admitted that the Yuzu emulator was designed primarily to circumvent the NS system and play games. But they stressed that the development team has always been against piracy, and that they developed these projects out of love for Nintendo's consoles and games. I didn't expect this project to allow so many users to bypass Nintendo's technological protection and play on unauthorized platforms, which led to large-scale piracy. There have even been cases where Yuzu has been used to leak pre-release games, causing damage to the experience of legitimate consumers and fans.
