Valve's Notification to Nintendo about Dolphin Emulator's Steam Release
TL;DR Summary
Valve reportedly notified Nintendo of Dolphin Emulator's Steam release to avoid getting in legal trouble itself. Nintendo issued a cease and desist order against the emulator, citing DMCA Section 1201 and deeming it an "illegal emulator." Valve confirmed its involvement and will cease distributing the material until the parties resolve their dispute. Dolphin Emulator's Steam release was indefinitely postponed and removed from Steam last week.
