What Happened to Dolphin on Steam?
dolphin-emu.org
Well that blew up, huh? If you follow emulation or just gaming on the whole, you've probably heard about the controversy around the Dolphin Steam release and the Wii Common Key. There's been a lot of conclusions made, and while we've wanted to defend ourselves, we thought it would be prudent to contact lawyers first to make sure that our understanding of the situation was legally sound. That took some time, which was frustrating to ourselves and to our users, but now we are educated and ready to give an informed response.

    Nintendo fans being ok for more abusive behaviour from a company that refuses to preserve the games that fans claim to love.

    Not surprised at all. They flew a bit too close to the sun and people encouraged piracy way too publicly on steam. Of course they were going to be threatened

    NGL I read a post about this the other day and it took way too long in the comments for me to realize this was not about a game where you swim around the ocean as a dolphin.

    I’m really surprised they can legally have the enc key in their emulator, or that Nintendo, out of any other company, wouldn’t go guns blazing because of it - even if it’s legal big company could ruin your life financially, it’s what Sony did in the 90s
