Steam is a much better updater.
Steam is a better updater than your OSes built in package manager?
Windows exists unfortunately.
Winget exists fortunately (should come preinstalled with Windows by now; otherwise update App Installer in MS-Store)
winget install DolphinEmulator.Dolphin / winget upgrade DolphinEmulator.Dolphin then should do the trick
So does winget. I use it exclusively on Windows.
I use Windows so…yeah.
Winget or Chocolatey. Makes life so much easier.
Dolphin is open source, add a better updater.
I was only saying my opinion and in my opinion people are making way too much of a fuss about this, as if the world ended. This outcome should seriously have been expected in my opinion.
Anywas we're not missing out on anything, if it doesn't go on Steam, except of course slightly more comfort and functions that can be fulfilled by other programs as well.

I personally don't know how to write a better updater. It would have been a huge win to get access to steam's for free. This isn't putting down Dolphin to want that.
