This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu's website and Citra's website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

Nintendo may be right here, but I'm still not buying their new console or any new games of theirs.

They are correct based on the interpretation of existing law. That's why the meme someone posted is relevant, you're not wrong, but you're still an asshole.
