Dolphin Emulator Steam listing removed following Nintendo DMCA ValveNintendo has filed a DMCA notice against Valve and the Dolphin Emulator development team \u2013 which removed the title\u2019s Steam listing. Dolphin is an open-source emulator for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Android devices. For years, fans of the service have patiently waited for Dolphin Emulator to receive a Steam port. However, Nintendo\u2019s recent actions have prevented the release of Dolphin Emulator on Steam. The video game company claimed the title had violated Nintendo\u2019s rights per the anti-circumvention portion of the DMCA. Now, it\u2019s unclear if the title will ever be available to download from Steam as a result of Nintendo\u2019s DMCA. Nintendo files DMCA takedown against Dolphin Emulator Twitter user Wario64 confirmed Dolphin Emulator had been delisted from Steam. The OP also included a screenshot of the development team\u2019s announcement concerning Nintendo\u2019s legal actions. \u201cIt is with much disappointment that we have to announce that the Dolphin on Steam release has been indefinitely postponed,\u201d the message read. \u201cWe are currently investigating our options and will have a more in-depth response in the near future.\u201d Its not that the the emulator is illegal. It is that Dolphin will be forced the engage in a tumultuous legal battle that will likely cost millions upon millions. Thats what will likely stop this. I think a lot of people forget that this is less about legality, but the price. \u2014 Ian (@ianthemarxist) May 26, 2023 In the tweet\u2019s replies, people debated whether the update meant they canceled Dolphin on Steam entirely. ianthemarxist explained how the emulator itself wasn\u2019t illegal, but the legal fees for a court battle like this would cost millions. Therefore, the price alone may prevent the Dolphin Emulator\u2019s launch on Steam. Additionally, some alleged that Nintendo might forget about the issue after a while. On the other hand, some users were glad Nintendo was joining the fight to stop mass piracy. Nintendo has entered legal battles over various issues in the past few years.
