Discord has banned two Switch emulator devs and shuttered their servers in the wake of Yuzu's defeat

The two emulators are based on Yuzu, but the letter of the court settlement means they should be ok to keep operating.

As reported by The Verge, developers of Yuzu-derived Nintendo Switch emulators Sudachi and Suyu have had their Discord accounts banned and their servers wiped. Whatever brilliant legal logic you could bring to bear on behalf of Sudachi and Suyu, the Iron Law of the platform owner still remains supreme. Discord servers can feel private, like a chat between friends, but they aren't nearly as secure as communication on Signal or Telegram, while their often open and public-facing nature means any number of people unaffiliated with you can see what you're saying.
