I agree but pay walling features is just asking for trouble, I should of specified what I meant with pateron.

~~The features weren't exactly paywalled, as the source code was always available. They merely provided beta builds to patreons, that were also available free of charge by someone else [1].~~

Selling emulators is legal, as far as we know (been a while since the last ruling). If it's true what others have pointed out, that yuzu devs were distributing copyrighted material in their public discord and talking open about privacy, then Nintendo has support for their argument that yuzu was intentionally designed to circumvent copy protection and purposely facilitates piracy.

Isn't pineapple just stealing the builds from pateron and did they release the current source code or did that get released after pateron build went public. I didn't really keep track of it.

You're likely right, it seems like they made use of the code being open-source and distributed it freely after getting access through patreon. Each commit is quite big with all the source code changes of the specific early access build.
