Okay, how would sintendo know if some of the original Yuzu devs are working on it if there is no trail leading back to them? If I were a Yuzu dev, I'd just start a new account and get right back to work on a fork that is gaining traction just to spite those subhumans working for a legal dictatorship.
Because you'd need perfect infosec to pull this off
An anonymous git account and tor?
Even if that were perfect, you'd have to make sure to never make a mistake. One commit with the wrong account or not using whatever you're using to mask where you're from and you're toast. Also there needs to be no other identifiers. It's almost certainly not worth the risk for them.
Lol. Sure because those ppl are not publicly known. Coding style, writing style on issues etc.
Opsec can be hard especially when you have to have a public facing entity.
Just simply too much risk for having nothing to gain only to lose.
But you are not. And you are just talking and doing nothing.
It would make it harder to compensate the devs for sure, though. They lost their finances and whoever picks the project back up will need to build their revenue stream from scratch although I feel that a good portion of yuzu contributors will just start funding one of the forked projects.
