The key bit: > Unlike Yuzu, the Suyu team does things differently in regards to Nintendo Switch emulation than their predecessors. Whereas Yuzu only required prod.keys, Suyu will also require you to dump your title.keys and firmware from a hacked Switch to run games. The devs also clarified that they are doing this for nonprofit (there's no Patreon) and do not condone piracy. We'll see how long it lasts...

I might be wrong, but buy a game, dump the keys, sell game?

I'm having 50,- on the fact they won't get to May before Nintendo Legal starts cutting up their loved ones.

Is the name intentionally a pun on sue you?

The readme used to contain the text:

> suyu, pronounced "sue-you" (wink wink) is the continuation of the world's most popular, open-source, Nintendo Switch emulator, yuzu.

Why don't any of these major emulator teams build and release anonymously?

You can still be sued. At that point, you either: a) defend yourself as normal, while attempting to maintain anonymity (difficult & doesn't solve anything) b) let the case go to default judgement (for likely an enormous amount of money) at which point Nintendo has every reason to try to track you down in real life, and can use the courts to help them do so. Hope you were really, really thorough about your anonymity.

3 things in life are certain. Death, taxes, and Nintendo emulators.

There is no 3rd without the legal problems with Nintendo.

Not sure what you mean, there are a ton of Nintendo emulators out there, some decades old.

Because making an emulator takes a lot of work. And emulator devs want some compensation for this work - be it money (in form of donations) or a status that could help them gather followers or even land a job.
