My only takeaway from this is that Dolphin lied to paint themselves as David-the-victim against Nintendo-the-Goliath. Getting hit with a DMCA takedown and simply getting told by Valve to sod off are two astronomically different things.
- kmeisthax 3y agoNot necessarily. The differences between DMCA 512 takedowns, cease and desist letters, YouTube Content ID matches, and side-eyed glances between nominal competitors in the games space, are very subtle. It's very easy to confuse the two and people do it all the time, because the end result is exactly the same: something you made is removed from the Internet because someone else says you didn't make it.
- hitekker 3y agoYou’ve been flagged but your point is largely correct. There is a big difference between Valve in listing them, and Nintendo sending them a DMCA. The dolphin developers ignored that difference and the former Dolphin developer called them out.
