Nintendo Blocks Release of Dolphin Emulator on Steam Due to Piracy Concerns

Nintendo asked Valve to prevent the Dolphin emulator from launching on Steam.
Nintendo claims the emulator enables piracy, though its legality is unclear.
The Dolphin team has abandoned plans to release on Steam but the emulator itself remains available.
While emulators are legal, obtaining games without owning them is considered piracy.
Nintendo aims to protect game makers' work and is strongly against emulation.
