    The closest they’ve been in recent times is when Dolphin were announcing their step onto the Steam storefront, to which Valve asked Nintendo about it and all that happened. Dolphin is still free to do whatever, just not on Valve’s land.

    AFAICT Analogue has been in the clear for their past FPGA consoles that specifically targeted Nintendo’s, can’t see it having isuses here.

      Sold on the store front is a no no, but emulators run great in Valve land (Steam Deck).
      I just booted Tears of The Kingdom on my Steam Deck the other day and that’s probably a much juicier target for a lawsuit / cease and desist.

      They’re not even losing money though, I bought it on Switch.
      But there’s such poor drawing distance and so much stuttering that I kinda gave up on it.
      I haven’t played it much on the deck yet because I didn’t really feel like starting over, so I don’t know how glitchy it is or not.

        Own a Steam Deck myself, can vouch for that. Haven’t messed with yuzu, though Dolphin and Yuzu are on Flathub anyway so it wasn’t like Steam Deck users are missing out from it not being on Steam.
