That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says (www.pcgamer.com)

Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

Wasn’t it taken down at Valve’s request, not Nintendo’s demand?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Officially yes. We have no idea if Nintendo sent a private email saying "please figure this out before we do."

Yes, but mainly because Valve doesn't want to deal with Nintendo's lawyers since it used their libraries.

I really wish they would and set a precedent for Nintendo's anti-consumer tactics.
