I live Valve, but there's always that nagging bit in the back of my mind reminding me that they can always turn evil in the span of a few years. And the recent debacle with Dolphin doesn't help

Dolphin isn't really their fault though. That all comes down to the developers and Nintendo. The outcome sucks either way

No, Dolphin was their fault. Valve reached out to Nintendo before Dolphin was added to the store. If Valve hadn't asked Nintendo for permission first, Nintendo probably would have said nothing

Nintendo is required by law to do something or else they run the risk of losing their trademarks.

This has nothing to do with trademark, only copyright.
