Well that’s a bad precedent.

Not sure settlements count as precedent, do they?
This seems like Yuzu going “yeah sure whatever easy way out, it’s open source and this won’t achieve even a little bit of what Nintendo is hoping”

Good point, not really a legal precedent but surely one that others will point to for ‘avoidance’.

Not really, based on their Twitter statement. It seems like they swallowed the ‘piracy bad, we must stop piracy, and therefore this app’ hook like and sinker.

Except that literally any and all communication from them, starting the second they agreed to settle, is probably part of the deal.
You think Nintendo wouldn’t have made “no smug public statements about how this doesn’t matter” part of the deal?

What, like a sponsored segment? I hate when companies force other people to say stuff.
