Dolphin Emulator’s recent pre-emptive removal from Steam got everyone a bit worried about its future. The speculation was that they were shipping some proprietary Wii keys which they technically shouldn’t be. Was this confirmed as the reason? Are they going to remove them? Is the future of the project still safe?
This is a good question, I’m not actually sure to be honest with you.
So far I’ve heard nothing about the main project receiving any sort of threats, and even the Steam page wasn’t officially DMCAd or the like. It was more of a threat saying they WOULD officially DMCA if the project wasn’t taken down.
It’s very interesting that it was played like this rather than just officially issuing a DMCA takedown request. Almost like they weren’t 100% convinced the official DMCA would actually hold up?
Late response, but I found the official statement from Dolphin
