Its not that much of a loss given you can still launch Dolphin from steam anyway. It just won't be on the storefront.

Just add it as a non-Steam game, right?

Yup

I constantly say “we live in the future,” and this is more proof.

Steam has done this for like 20 years now

Being able to emulate a Switch on the SteamDeck by simply adding it as a non-Steam game isn’t something we’ve been able to do for 20 years… but OK.

If you're emulating the switch on dolphin, you're not even in the same time line as everyone else

Oh God, you’re right. It’s late - “GameCube / Wii…”

Thanks :)

Another thing, all the enhancements planned for dolphin on steam will still be hitting the standalone version
