Are you absolutely joking? I'm not donating one cent to those clowns. I hate Nintendo and corporations with a passion, but Yuzu coding their emulator to support an un-release game -- and making money off of it -- is obviously the most illegal shit. There's literally no way for emulating a pre-release game to be legal -- how would you legally obtain a ROM of that? They did this to themselves. They're going to way of Bowser rather than other emulators.

Edit: Oh would you look at that, looks like Yuzu settled and is paying Nintendo 2.4 million dollars. That's weird for a """non-profit open source project""" to do.

They did nothing to support totk before the release date as even stated in this article from pcgamers

The emulation teams have forbidden all discussion of running Tears of the Kingdom from their Discord servers—Yuzu only allows vague discussion of the contents of the game, but requests for help or discussion of performance quickly earns chatters a deleted message and a warning or ban. To avoid being involved with pirated material, the emulator developers have vowed, at least publicly, not to release updates targeting issues with Tears of the Kingdom. "We are waiting for the game to release, so that members of our team can each legally dump their own copies of the game,"

The game only happened to run without any work by them (and it's understandable after 6 years of development and the various documentation already available for the switch's tegra chip) and this is happening every time a new game for the switch is released.

Tell me you don’t understand what emulation means without telling me you don’t understand what emulation means
