Switch emulator devs to pay $2.4 million, shut down Yuzu in Nintendo lawsuit settlement

Following an official filing in late February against Tropic Haze LLC and its Nintendo Switch emulator program Yuzu, Nintendo has reached a legal settlement with the developers to the tune of $2.4 million and what looks to be a complete shutdown of the program. 

On Feb. 26, it was confirmed that Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Tropic Haze regarding its popular Switch emulator Yuzu and the damages the company claims it caused regarding hardware and software sales through facilitating piracy of its intellectual property. Now, the developers of the emulator are paying out millions of dollars in damages and must completely cease operations regarding the development and distribution of Yuzu.
