As reported by The Verge, developers of Yuzu-derived Nintendo Switch emulators Sudachi and Suyu have had their Discord accounts banned and their servers wiped. While the devs themselves seem to operate in a grey area left open by Yuzu's settlement with Nintendo, their presence on the platform was still terminated with that settlement cited as the reason.

What makes this story murky is that Yuzu connection⁠—other emulator communities on the platform remain unaffected, including the one for Ryujinx, the Pepsi to Yuzu's Coke in the Switch emulation space. According to The Verge, the letter of Nintendo's settlement with Yuzu allows for developers unaffiliated with the original Yuzu team to use and modify its open-source GPL v3 code  in their own emulator projects.
