Nothing's disappearing except for the official hosting of Citra. Citra already fully supported every notable 3DS game, I think, and recent development work has mostly come from outside contributors rather than Tropic Haze.
Nothing's disappearing, except the binaries and source. Good-quality archives will surely be assembled, but it at a minimum makes Citra significantly harder to access.
I bet citra is mostly accessed as a retroarch core these days

#25I'm so surprised that the hacker/emu community did not retaliate against Nintendo all these years.
Retaliate how?

#26Examine all Nintendo software releases for potential violations of Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) licenses, and if any are identified, take legal action to ensure compliance, similar to their approach with emulator developers.

I think the goal is simply to mitigate, not eliminate. I'm sure by now software companies know trying to eliminate piracy is like trying to make cockroaches go extinct.
I think part of the goal is to have, in the record, a statement that any app that is otherwise legal but requires the user to download cryptographic keys to use is a de facto violation of the DMCA. I think that's why they're settling so easily here and likely paying the settlement for the Yuzu folks. They're hoping that they can use that as precedent for future cases.
I don't think a random settlement where no judge never decided much of anything can serve as useful precedent in a meaningful way...

And i suppose you think you're the one to do it?

#29Is this the end of all nintendo emulators?
Re: 3DS Emulator Citra is closing up shop and removing all their sites/code
#30Massive idiocy on Nintendo side, as these sources for these emulators are already backed up and will already resurface again.
It's also about the asset value of IP. Most if not all media companies have IP on their balance sheets. (Showing that you are) protecting IP is part of its value justification.
