> It seems like at least part of their approach to the lawsuit is going to be specifically that Tears of the Kingdom was pirated early and played on Yuzu and that Yuzu saw a large increase in Patreon revenue at the time. They will likely hope that discovery gives them somebody putting something in writing that explicitly connects the Patreon jump to TotK piracy, and hope that is enough to either argue a case or scare Yuzu into believing they have a case that they were linked to/knowingly profiting from copyright-infringing uploads, rather than simply being a legal emulator. I don't think that approach was utilized in previous emulation lawsuits.
