A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.

Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.

I mean, you're right. I don't agree with the emulators being taken down, it sucks, but it's hardly surprising that Nintendo, a company known for strictly protecting their copyrights, would go after these projects.

Hopefully other people and projects can pick up the reins, but should always be ready and prepared for another strike like this.
