[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 40 points 2 years ago (2 children) So, are Yuzu developers actually have $2.4M lying around, or will they pay for it in installment like Gary Bowser? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 years ago (1 child) they were making 30k/mo for a while, so for sure they can pay some of it off. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) Some people estimates they net ~$1.2M on patreon so far. If that's the case they still ~$1.2M short. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago Usually in a civil case you'd just settle for whatever money the devs had lying around. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Carighan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) The fact that they quickly agreed to this amount tells you all you need to know about how much money they - personally - made from the patreon. No wonder Nintendo got this so easily, unlike the other emulators they went after. With that kind of cash, good luck arguing in front of a judge that you're not running Yuzu as a commercial business. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago* Yes it tells me all I need to know: that they don't care about the amount because they are going to declare bankruptcy anyway, since Yuzu is an LLC. permalink fedilink source parent
