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.

Logging in to cancel my switch online right now. I was using YUZU to play games I bought from them, in some cases even more than once. F Nintendo. I won't be buying a Switch 2.

    Better yet, since their hate on piracy is so big, buy HACKED switch 2 when it'll be available and pirate the fuck out of them

    GPD sells a PSP Go shaped computer, which, if the Steam Deck didnt exist, was probably going to be the computer I would have ended up owning, but Valve's version of Linux and its control mapping is PHENOMENAL, so I dont know how it'd compare in that sense

    Edit: According to this video the GPD Win 4 works pretty amazingly with Steams OS, so it seems like a valid option
