Was surprised at this since it's not connected to Nintendo in any way, but it turns out it's not actually related to the Yuzu news:

This doesn't come as a surprise for many, though, as the AetherSX2 emulator halted development entirely back in 2023, with the developer specifically mentioning the "neverending impersonating, complaints, demands, and now death threats". Although, it took almost a year for the actual emulator app to be taken down from the Play Store, following the discontinuation of the project

What kind of sicko sends death threats to someone for developing an emulator

Same thing happened to Near/Byuu the creator of higan (SNES emulator).

That makes my blood boil every time i think of it. I'm autistic and a computer uber-nerd too and they didn't deserve it. I beg for the day Kiwi Farms will be gone for good.
