I wonder if these will also be affected my the sales as well. Might be worth holding out until the next big steam sale to see.

From what I heard, Valve actually reached out to Nintendo to see if they would be ok with hosting it. Nintendo obviously said no so Valve stopped going ahead with the launch. Here is an article straight from dolphin themselves explaining what happened.

I found that I really had to put all other games aside and focus on it.

I actually started by playing the first two games before starting 3 and that really helped me focus on just playing 3 because at that point I was super invested. 1 and 2 are both pretty short games (compared to 3) but super different from each other so if you want to give that a try it might be worth it.

I got like 40 hours into MGSV and I just got burnt out on it. I feel that going back I would probably have a better time but the first time I was obsessively doing the side missions and it just killed it for me.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I was taking my pace but it took me so long to get anything done that eventually it just fizzled out for me. I don’t think I made it half way through the story and at this point I don’t think I can go back and play it because it seems like such a chore.

The more I hear about this the more I’m shocked that this death trap was allowed to operate at all! It seems on the level of that bear suit guy, super dyi energy but with no real use case.
