TheEighthDoctor @lemmy.zip They didn't shut down anything, they asked and people took them down voluntarily. Legally speaking that's what happened.

OrganicMustard @lemmy.world Not true. They filled a lawsuit against Yuzu and Citra and the developers had to pay 2.4 million dollars to Nintendo. They probably threatened the Ryujinx dev to do the same.

Technically the lawsuit was against Yuzu. Citra was shutdown by association.
