GitLab takes down Nintendo Switch emulator suyu due to the DMCA [they have their own repository anyway] (www.gamingonlinux.com)

This is the best summary I could come up with:

After a first release, GitLab have already pulled down the Nintendo Switch emulator suyu, due to a DMCA hit as a result of it being forked from yuzu which Nintendo shut down.

Even though the suyu team were doing it as a non-profit, with no way to donate, it seems this didn't matter because it's based on a project that was already taken down.

The suyu Discord is also no longer accepting invites, probably due to an influx of people wondering what's going on.

A few people managed to grab the notice that was sent to the suyu team like Mr. Sujano on X:

Since yuzu was open source though, Nintendo will have plenty of trouble fully erasing it, since even a very quick Google search showed up plenty of it still existing on the web across various places.

I've reached out to GitLab for more info…will update if they reply.
