some grapevine reports indicate yuzu paid reviewers with early access to some games for pre-retail dumps that were then used to have speedy day1 compat.

it could be wrong, totk just leaked a week before release.

This feels like a "so what" issue to me. Maybe the early release guys who sold their copies should be in trouble for breaking a contract, but the Yuzu guys should be in the clear.

Paying someone to break the rules still makes you culpable.

Paying someone to break the law makes you culpable. Paying someone to violate an NDA or other agreement with a private company you have no direct association with doesn't ordinarily make you culpable.

That would be a strange thing to do considering it was shared everywhere anyway.

It'd be useful to link the evidence when repeating the claim here.
