All I have to say, is read the wiki.

Your jumps in conclusion is why everyone down votes you. There's not much content in Star wars memes, it's purely coincidental, barley even scrolled.

You haven't addressed :

"it's still on the Google play store and Apple app store and actively developed so why doesn't Nintendo keep coming?"

Or

"Also, Churches are non-profit, KDE Community are non-profit, Gnome is non-profit, FSF is non-profit, and so on. All of which collect donations. What makes an emulator start-up company any different in this regard?"

Go ahead and block me, it just makes it obvious that you're afraid to address the main point.

Are you going to address the main point or are you just going to continue to prattle on?

Again, factually wrong. Dolphin removed itself off the steam store to satisfy Nintendo, however it's still on the Google play store and Apple app store and actively developed so why doesn't Nintendo keep coming?

You have no clue how the GPLv3 works, nor U.S. Copyright law. Please stop pretending like you do.

Then why hasn't Nintendo fallowed through and killed Dolphin yet? If it's illegal, then why haven't they continued trying to sue Dolphin?

That's factually incorrect. They've gone after Dolphin whom explicitly don't accept donations. Then there's, Ryujinx, Cemu, Libretro/RetroArch, emuDeck, etc. that accept donations. This again comes down to the GPLv3 which doesn't restrict the selling of binaries of the legal code nor restrict donations. Infact if one is only accepting donations, your company by U.S. copyright law are a nonprofit.

There's no need to profit from it anymore, donations exist, Nintendo created a Streisand effect.

Exactly!! Nintendo knew that if Yuzu were to press on and bleed financially just slow enough that Nintendo would take the L. Having big implications essentially permanently legalizing emulators, never being able to challenge them in any meaningful way. They just wanted the project gone so gave them a favorable deal that wouldn't complete bankrupt Yuzu, so they took it. Walked away from the project and now it's in the communities hands not to mention in the arctic vault.
