Yuzu – Nintendo Switch Emulator

You're confusing (pirated) ROMs with "emulators."

There are emulator products that you can only play with original games (such as bleem!) and/or ROMs provided by the publisher (such as Nintendo's eStore)

The devs at mainstream game studios are salaried, they've already been paid for their work performed no matter if the game sells or not. If the game is never released (which happens) they still get a paycheck.

While this is true, I would imagine that sales figures affect the future of devs at the game studios (layoffs, new projects, etc).

I know the difference, just stating my stance in this matter. Besides Yuzu can't even be used like that in it's current state, and like has been said if a game doesn't sell during its shelf life it doesn't bode well to any of the makers. It's enough to kill medium/small studios and entire IP's.
