Where does a FOSS project find $2.4M? They weren't selling anything were they? They can't really have that big of a war chest can they?

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).
