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.

Fuck Nintendo. I paid full price for BotW late last year, $100 fucking dollars for a six year old game. I wasn’t happy about it but whatever, greatest game ever right? What could go wrong? Turns out BotW is a mid game at best and I got bored before my trip ended.
I am still completely baffled at the reception that game got.
BotW was pretty much the only modern Nintendo game I wanted to play. Seemed mid/fine when I tried it but yeah many say it’s great.
