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.

They were selling hacking tools that used Nintendo's IP to do so. That isn't legal.

Having a legal use case doesn't mean they weren't breaking the law by profiting off of selling the tools.
