Embattled Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu has announced today that they intend to shut down the company as one last emulation of the entire video game industry.
“We started this project in good faith,” a statement from the company read. “But we see now that if we truly want to provide gamers with the most realistic emulation possible, we need to kill what they love. Goodbye forever, everyone.”
The news sent shockwaves through the gaming community, along with some praise.
“Honestly nailed it, it felt like the real thing,” one social media commentator wrote. “Just when I started to really love the service and got used to relying on it I hear some big business decision resulted in it being killed. This is the true gamer experience.”
Insiders in the company gave some insight into the logic behind this final emulation.
“The AAA emulation cycle is just simply too long, the economics don’t work,” one insider speaking on a condition of anonymity said. “Killing it now is a tax break anyways.”
