    My understanding is they’ve been making 30k a month from their Patreon.

    Which is also the main reason they were vulnerable to a lawsuit, because they’ve been profiting off of the emulator (which why legal by itself, is only popular enough to make money due to piracy).

        The most recent version of Yuzu (which theoretically has the best performance) is semi-locked behind their Patreon.

        This was especially important when TotK came out, because they were making a bunch of tweaks to improve performance for that game. So people who wanted to play TotK needed to subscribe to get the best results (or build from source, I’m assuming).
