Steam's HQ is in USA... so if it becomes in USA you won't have it on Steam regardless of where you live... which is fine for most people, but this is nice for Steam Deck users.

Who cares about steam, you know emulators can be downloaded anytime from anywhere. I still can't understand why dolphin devs want to officially put it in steam, you can do unofficially anyway. Although emulation is not ilegal yet, like you said it can become anytime if politicians want to, however we know that will only be the attention of selected few countries, most countries in the world dont care about that.

because i am a lazy steam deck user and don't want to navigate a bajillion folders setting up emulation.

i watched a yuotube video on how to emulate CEMU on steam deck and it gave me a headache trying to figure it all out.
 
excuse me, around here big N refers to Nvidia thank you very much.

You kidding? A Steam release would make it readily available on the Steam Deck (which is super popular despite poor global availability), not to mention Steam is a safe platform - and one that is actually used by companies to sell their games to begin with. Emulators on Steam make them much more accessible.

i don't think people that buy steam decks are the people that have problem downloading stuff from the internet. It makes it no easier to find pirated roms or get them from original legit sources, that's the difficult/dangerous part.

Never going to happen. SOTUS ruled it legal many decades ago and there are dozens of court rulings guaranteeing emulation and fair-use is here to stay.

NO ONE refers to NVidia as "The Big N". That is and has always been a reference to Nintendo. Full stop.
