They must know they fucked up somewhere and decided to go this route rather than get exposed for potential shenanigans. From reading comments in other communities I was surprised to see a lot of people expected this outcome, although nobody was particularly specific about why (maybe someone here can give some insight.) For the record I’ve been on team “Fuck Nintendo” after the Gamecube, but I’d take the fact that other emulators haven’t been targeted as possible hint that Nintendo got wind of something wacky going on. Who knows, maybe they’re next?
They ran a LLC company and earned a quite substantial amount of money with Yuzu. I also suspect that they don’t actually plan to pay much of this fine and just let the LLC go bankrupt.

Financially the right move. If what I read was correct, it would take approx. 8 years of steady Patreon income to get to the $2.4M figure anyway.
