indicate that the gaming company wants to squash the emulator, and for good this time.
Nintendo is requesting the Federal Court stop Yuzu and its makers, Tropic Haze, dead in its tracks with a permanent injunction. The demands don't stop there either; It also wants the court to take away is domain names, URLs, chatrooms, and social media presence, effectively wiping our the emulator's existence.Not only that, Nintendo also want Tropic Haze to hand over the Yuzu domain, yuzu-emu.

In which case, Yuzu may find itself in hot water, on account of a DMCA circumvention claim, which bans products “primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access”.
