My understanding is they’ve been making 30k a month from their Patreon.
Which is also the main reason they were vulnerable to a lawsuit, because they’ve been profiting off of the emulator (which why legal by itself, is only popular enough to make money due to piracy).
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.
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).
$2.4M is 8 years’ worth in that case, assuming they were making that much the entire time. And of course a lot of that money was probably for the devs to afford basic living expenses.

I’m just surprised they’re able to make so much money developing free software…

6 years and 8 months, but yeah I can’t see them having the money, even if they saved everything.
