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.

I have never played any Nintendo games. Idk what people see in them. I feel like people buy them mostly because of nostalgia. First game you ever played and all that, and then they buy switch for their kid.

This is bad news for emulation though.

I don't care for them anymore, but the SNES, N64 and Gameboy eras were and still are magical.

Different perspectives I guess. That era to me is the era of Apogee software and DOS shareware games, since we never owned a Nintendo system but my Dad did have a decent PC. Many evenings as a preteen were spent trying to cook up my own shitty games in QBasic.
