Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo’s lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam.
We all know Nintendo is a bitch and there’s nothing illegal in emulators, but Valve’s stance looks reasonable to me, it would be serious damage to Steam if they were involved in legal litigation.
Yep, I can understand that they don’t want to fight someone else’s fight.
In terms of user content this would be correct. However when it comes to games on the platform valve does do curation to ensure games run etc. I don’t know if it has been tested, but that curation could exclude them from the protection. If that was the case they could be directly sued for copyright infringement.
Lol “legal litigation” sounds like double secret probation to me, but I agree with you.
Haha :D English is not my first language, if the wording is not correct or there’s a better way of saying it, I welcome any correction :)
