Yep even as soon as the lawsuit was announced people were archiving everything. The only question is who with the requisite skills will be brave enough to lead further development and field PRs and triage issues, beyond just hosting a mirror frozen in time - and will not accepting money be enough for the next maintainers or will other emulators that don't accept money also be in the cross hairs eventually, necessitating developing a future yuzu fork anonymously and using censorship resistant code hosting (be it using a forge hosted in a specific country or something more serious like hosting the code using radicle)

They can accept money and just do it anonymously. Get paid with crypto or something. It's probably still possible to get paid with non crypto and stay moderately anonymous, but probs more risky.
