Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers

[John Elden Ring]

Discord has shut down the Discord servers for the Nintendo Switch emulators Suyu and Sudachi and has completely disabled their lead developers’ accounts — and the company isn’t answering our questions about why it went that far. Both Suyu and Sudachi began as forks of Yuzu, the emulator that Nintendo sued out of existence on March 4th.

“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,” reads part of a statement from Discord director of product communications Kellyn Slone 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 material"

So basically this isn't a Discord initiative, but instead Nintendo and the court forced them to do so.

Damn they're going after everything now. This is what happens when you try to cheat a company out of money. Sucks because I played alot of 3ds and GameCube games through those emulators recently on my steamdeck. Probably would've been fine if people didn't add switch s##t to the services.
