The GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin will no longer come to Steam.

Now the team have cleared up the situation and are abandoning their efforts completely.

What actually happened was a legal back and forth.

Mario on Yoshi flies away from an explosion in a Dolphin emulated Mario Galaxy.

Valves legal department had contacted Nintendo regarding the emulators Steam release.

A lawyer representing Nintendo asked Valve to prevent it.

Hence, the team is abandoning our efforts to release Dolphin on Steam.

They go on to say that only a small fraction of what we do involves circumvention.

Dolphin is still available to download on its own site.
