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.

A court in Germany has recently decided that reading the code of a software you legally purchased and finding plain text passwords there is illegal hacking.

The person was hired to do a security audit (by a third party) and disclosed the finding to the software developer, not even to his own employer.

The developer decided to sue him instead of fixing the problem.

At this point I have lost all trust in the technological capacities of judges out there.
