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

They did this with TF2 dev, no it’s not Nintendo anymore it’s Valve.
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.
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.
Valve negatives are always being shaped into nothingness or acting like it’s normal. A stolen patient is not normal corporate behavior.
They’re explained and what gets marked as normal means normal for what their goal towards the general public seems to be, you just look like an insane person with what your profile looks like.
You are the problem if you think a billion dollar corporation should steal game controllers, should not offer refunds, should locked games into locations and other criminal activity that can put you in jail.
All of those things sounds like conspiracy theory talk to me because none of what you said is strange.
There’s no stealing a controller design and there never has been, they offer refunds in their exact terms which everyone knows and the locking games in locations (if true) is 100% controlled by the person who put the games on Steam.
They stole patient design:

AU found Valve guilty of violating the law:

You’re in the wrong, Valve is a criminal organization.
