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.

I'm pretty sure the keys aren't a part of the actual game/download, it's a part of your Switch. So if you have an emulator with one of those keys built in, it's piracy.

I think what they should have done is prompt the user to put it in themselves and then we could just find keys on the internet and avoid this whole situation. But I'm no expert

    That's exactly how it is... Yuzu does not distribute those files. They give you a guide on how to dump it yourself from your own Switch.
