I'm just surprised they're able to make so much money developing free software...

The most recent version of Yuzu (which theoretically has the best performance) is semi-locked behind their Patreon.

This was especially important when TotK came out, because they were making a bunch of tweaks to improve performance for that game. So people who wanted to play TotK needed to subscribe to get the best results (or build from source, I'm assuming).

Is this your first time venturing on to Patreon? The YouTube channel cold ones makes $84k a month from Patreon and they just get drunk, smash shit, and play video games.
