This sucks hard. They likely knew they could not overcome Nintendo's infinite money for legal proceedings, and if they lost they could have been on the hook for far more than this settlement amount.

The upside is this has no legal impact, but the downside is they were the best-positioned group to take this to trial.

Now Nintendo is going to start going after the smaller guys, who definitely can't afford to fight.

The plus side is Ryujinx is Free Open Source Software so a million forks can begun being made right now. Yuzu had closed source aspects, which was its downfall in replication from this point forward. Ryujinx will likely have thousands of clone repositories made after today alone.

Speaking of, here's a full backup of the Ryujinx repo, including commit history.
