Lawsuit filed on Feb 26 2024 [0]. Switch launched on March 3 2017 [1]. Yuzu's first release on Jan 14 2018 [2]. Therefore, a Switch emulator existed for the vast majority of the Switch's lifetime and the lawsuit is a very recent development compared to the lifetime of the Switch and the emulator. Hence, if Yuzu was so gravely damaging to Nintendo, we would not see the Switch become one of the most successful consoles of all time by selling over 115M units in the Q1 2018 - Q3 2023 timeframe [3]
