This is such a shame, it is such exceptional work… Hopefully switching engines will allow the project to continue.

At first I was a bit disappointed in Valve, but this really clarified some things. Valve is legit scared of litigation with Nintendo, which is 100% a thing I would expect any company to be scared of.
A similar thing happened with dolphin emulator when they tried to release on Steam i think
They did this with TF2 dev, no it’s not Nintendo anymore it’s Valve.
One of them (the Portal demake) used Nintendo’s proprietary code/libraries without permission, prompting a request to take it down, the TF thing ripped off Valve’s assets without permission and redistributed them, which got a DMCA. If you see this and think “Valve is out taking down everything they can like Nintendo” you really missed something.
Just stop with the stupid nonsense Valve is in good side, no they aren’t. People’s opinion of Valve was wrong and defended them won’t change that.
For the record: the commenter I am replying to has shown over and over to be very rude and every comment for as far as I can see scrolling down for quite a while is something negative about Valve even when it’s simple facts like what they replied to this time.
I wouldn’t dare say take anything they say super seriously, and we of course do all know that Valve is still just a company.
I mean, it’s one thing to fan remake a single player game from a decade ago in a very different way, and a very different thing to remake a live Multi-player game made in basically the same engine.
