Pretty uncharacteristic for Valve, wonder if something changed in their legal department. In any case, what a shame. This was quite an impressive project.
It’s called “Team Fortress: Source 2” btw.
Weird, why would they shut these two down but not stuff like gmod
Why would they shut down gmod? It licenses the source engine and plays by all of their rules
Damn. I was just in another thread defending them for taking down that tf2 thing. But Portal64 was a very different kind of thing IMO and seemed more like a demonstration of technological capabilities rather than trying to mow Valve’s lawn. I suppose it did seem to use a lot of their assets though.
Yeah, I actually find this devastating. That game was beyond cool.
I have to wonder if this is the work of an actual Valve representative, or if this is a fraudulent takedown notice created by a troll. Given Valve’s track record, it seems vastly more likely that this is not a legitimate takedown notice.
It seems more likely that the old Valve is dead. Making billions of dollars certainly changes things.
The fact that it’s Nintendo’s IP seems the key thing here.
So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?
Just Valve being Valve then.
