Valve has removed the Steam listing of Dolphin, a popular emulator for the GameCube and Wii, after it received a cease and desist order from Nintendo, the developers behind the project’s claim. The company behind Mario And zelda It accuses the emulator of illegally circumventing its safeguards, and says it only protects “the hard work and creativity of video game engineers and developers”.
