Companies like Sony and Nintendo have been diligent and downright ruthless when it comes to emulators over the years. However, it was nothing like what recently took place when Nintendo sued the parent company of Yuzu and Citra. The latter has been a staple since 2014, while the former hit the scene in 2018.
In late February, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Tropic Haze LLC., claiming that it was "secondarily liable for the infringement committed by the users to whom it distributes Yuzu." The official documents go on to claim that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom "were successfully downloaded from pirate websites over one million times before the game was published and made available for lawful purchase by Nintendo." Nintendo put the onus on Tropic Haze because people could download and play TOTK before it was officially available.
