This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.

The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.

As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu’s website and Citra’s website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

Okay, so no, it’s not hacking. It doesn’t fall under hacking laws. It’s not illegal to sell hacking tools. Basically, everything you said is wrong.

In this case, it’s all about copyright and the DMCA, which made it illegal to break the copyright protection systems companies put in place or to make or distribute tools to break copyright protection systems.

So, nothing to do will selling things or hacking. Everything to do with copyright and draconian dot come era laws.

Circumventing copyright protections by using encryption keys in an unauthorized manner is hacking.

This case might not be explicitly about hacking, but profiting off tools that use IP to circumvent protections is illegal.
