[Noticias ALEJANDRO]

According to a report from VGC, Nintendo sent a warning to the GitHub platform about violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) after detecting thousands of repositories containing clones of the Yuzu emulator. Initially, Nintendo pointed out more than 100 repositories that contained the software and offered it to site visitors, but after GitHub analysis, a total of 8,535 were discovered that were immediately removed to avoid a legal problem with the Japanese company.

 

 

In February of this year, Nintendo sued the creators of Yuzu, accusing them of piracy, violation of copyright laws and financial damages. Although the company was aware of the activities of this emulation scene, the straw that broke the camel's back was the million copies of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom that began running on the emulator prior to the launch of the original title.

The Japanese company immediately attacked Yuzu and those responsible, reaching a monetary agreement, but in this case Nintendo appropriated the software, site and official channels, so it already has full knowledge of its operation and the possible routes that those who insist will take. in keeping Yuzu alive.

The end of Yuzu has had an impact on the emulation scene as Citra, the po[CENSORED]r Nintendo 3DS emulator, ended operations after Tropic Haze, LLC and Nintendo reached an agreement. At the same time, other emulators similar to Yuzu have been released, such as Suyu, but they have bitten the dust due to Nintendo's offensive.
