\nAfter Nintendo<\/strong> essentially had the Switch emulator Yuzu shut down last month, Discord is seemingly banning creators of other emulators and their servers.\n<\/p>\n

\nLast month, Nintendo and the creator of Yuzu, an emulator specifically for Switch games, settled the former’s lawsuit<\/a> with the latter agreeing to pay $2.4 million in “monetary relief.” As a result, you can no longer easily download Yuzu, making Switch emulation much less accessible, and it set a precedent for future emulator developers – one that essentially says “try to do this, and you’ll be a whole lot poorer.” Now, as reported by The Verge<\/a>, it appears that Discord is taking action against other Switch emulators by outright banning the creators of Suyu and Sudachi, two new emulators that are based on Yuzu.\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to a statement from Discord’s director of product communications Kellyn Slone provided to The Verge, “Discord responds to and complies with all legal and valid Digital Millennium Copyright Act requests. In this instance, there was also a court ordered injunction for the takedown of these materials, and we took action in a manner consistent with the court order.”\n<\/p>\n
