This also includes ceasing development and destroying their copies of the code.
The GitHub repo page for Yuzu now returns a 404, as well. In addition, the repo for the Citra 3DS emulator was also taken down.
As of at least 23:30 UTC, Yuzu’s website and Citra’s website have been replaced with a statement about their discontinuation.

There is also an active Reddit thread about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1b6gtb5/
I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Reimerdes/Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Corley and others.
I don’t think that applies in this case since DeCSS was unambiguously and primarily designed to strip DRM (with interoperability as a consequence), while Yuzu was primarily designed to emulate a system (with DRM “circumvention” as a consequence).
They put features into yuzu to specifically decrypt games (if you provide a key), it’s the same thing.
