Valve's Communication with Nintendo Regarding Dolphin Emulator on Steam

Valve confirms it contacted Nintendo about Dolphin Emulator coming to Steam, citing the legal dispute between Nintendo and Dolphin as the reason for the postponement. Valve operates Steam as an open platform but only allows creators to distribute things they have the legal right to. Nintendo has a history of taking action against some emulators, and Valve doesn't want to ship an application that could be taken down. Nintendo considers the emulator illegal and harmful to development and innovation.

Valve's Notification to Nintendo about Dolphin Emulator's Steam Release

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.

Dolphin Emulator Steam Release Delayed Indefinitely.

The release of Dolphin Emulator on Steam has been indefinitely postponed after Nintendo issued a DMCA against Dolphin's Steam page. The development team is currently investigating its options. The emulator's release on Steam promised support for 4K displays, modern controllers, netplay, was fully open-source, and was a "free" download. Other emulators like RetroArch already exist on Steam, so there might still be a chance for Dolphin to be released on Valve's service in some way or form in the near future.
