    I really doubt that they are that stupid. My guess is that they are hoping to hinder the development of the project for a bit to delay the switch 2 implementation in yuzu or a future switch 2 focused fork.

    Also, all the ppl that were directly associated with the group are no longer legally allowed (or at least would risk a lawsuit against them) to contribute. So a lot of expertise got lost.

      Exactly this. Nintendo lawyers were after the people, not the project. Else they’d go after Ryujinx too (they may still to be fair)

      This is the correct answer.

      It’s like destroying a barracks full of elite soldiers and then going, “Don’t worry. We have plenty more barracks.”

      I wasn’t referring to the Yuzu core team.

      Sure, the core “Yuzu” team. That doesn’t include any of the external contributors. There’s very often a larger contributor base outside of a core team in FOSS projects.

      And yes, there’s expertise that was lost. But that doesn’t mean no one else knows how to do the work. It will march onwards.
