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.
Comment on Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 9 months agoNot 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”

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.

A settlement can include whatever compensation Nintendo might demand. Public statements written by Nintendo, but published as if from Yuzu. It’s all been seen before.
You do whatever we ask, and we stop coming after you so this doesn’t have to go to court. That’s what a settlement is.

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