This is just a corporate passing of the buck. There’s no reason to believe a third party infringing upon the properties of two parties would give the latter parties any ability or risk of going after one another.
This project was not on steam and as such was not distributed by nor associated with Valve in any way beyond infringement of IP and use of their assets. Let's not give Valve a pass just because they can lazily and baselessly say "um nintendo!" about it.
okay but this was not your initial argument--this is an entirely separate issue from it, actually. your argument was "Valve about to become as litigious as Nintendo with IP they’ve let rot." and that is demonstrably false or they wouldn't have let Portal Revolution release. if they were going to be litigious about the Portal IP, why would they DMCA Portal64 but not Revolution?
to me, this is clearly an example of incorrectly getting mad about something and then shifting the goalposts to not have to take the L.
This is nitpicky and toxic. Who cares? Bee nice.
Dude, someone corrected your misinformation and you call them a bully?
