Ryujinx Pulls Their Source Code From GitHub And Shuts Down
The open-source project Ryujinx is no more, following a 'request' from Nintendo.

Reminder: don’t put your code on a corporate-owned code forge like Microsoft GitHub. That corporation is interested in helping other corporations like what happened with
youtube-dl, et al. so don’t be surprised if your code get censored, or they aide in DCMAs (not to mention locking all of your communications & contributions to a proprietary platform that blocks users based on US sanctions). Use a nonprofit, or better, self-host your code forge—& set up mirrors to be resilient.Ryujinx was taken down by the author because they made a private agreement with Nintendo directly, GitHub was not involved.
This time. If the maker refused, Nintendo would have just told Microsoft to take it down & it would have happened.
There was no illegal code, no reason for Microsoft to take any action. There’s a reason this was not a DMCA.
