Quoting: cozThat being said it does seem the devs made quite a bit through Patreon. The internet archive shows they earned about $28,970 per month, and it seems they were active for around six years. So assuming they actually ended up getting as an average half of that through the years, they made around one million in six years through Patreon.

Last month, I likely contributed to the Linux, macOS, and Windows statistics.

I dual-booted Windows once and visited NVIDIA's site to download the new installer.

I used my iMac for After Effects, and probably visited a site or two in that time.

I used my three Linux machines quite regularly, and used the fourth Linux machine to browse the web once.

The redistributors of Yuzu's early-access builds wrote a statement: https://github.com/pineappleEA/Pineapples-Secrets

QuoteAlso, by the way, the only reason we made Pineapple was due to Yuzu illegally DMCAing some pastebins of some of our friends.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualI asked in the Discord channels directly what "Tropic Haze LLC" was. The response I received was, "It's not anything suspicious, but I'm not going to comment about it right now." Now I'm thinking it was setup purely to take the fall for when Nintendo sued them. And I'm still curious...

I'm surprised Nintendo was pursuing a settlement at all. I thought they would have wanted this to go to trial.

This is the best outcome re: legality of emulation. No court judgments were made.

That's more or less the idea of an LLC; the laws around LLC's work in a way where (generally speaking) if something happens to the company none of the employees (regardless or their position) are legally responsible (unless it's a case of what a specific person has done and they are specifically called out in the suite).

That's the idea of "Limited Liability". I don't know why I felt the need to "suspect" that; maybe I was still half-asleep...

The most up-to-date source for Yuzu is a redistributor of early-access builds.

Apparently Yuzu got upset with them at some point for redistributing their early-access builds, which were only accessible to Patrons. But redistributing it is legal under the GPL. This existed primarily because Yuzu did not provide Linux installers/launchers for Yuzu.

I would suggest that a lot of us are missing context, and I'll refrain from making any further comments until I know more.

Quoting: gbudnyI know some people here used Linux before 2010 or earlier. I don't think that is the majority of users on this website.

My experience has been that most people I encounter here are in the 40+ bracket like myself, and quite often much older. Obviously I don't know how it breaks down beyond the regulars I often see who make comments that give some clues about demographics, though.

Late, but I'm uh, quite a bit younger than that. Which is why I find it interesting to ask users like Purple Library Guy about history, because I wasn't there for most of it.
