@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss no legal action 15:09:52
@_discord_720159784665612360:t2bot.ioanjacup14 Yeah people and news sites are throwing out the term DMCA like party favours 15:10:06
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss there was a tf2 remake project that just got dmca'd though, i think 15:10:08
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp in s&box, the source 2 platform thing from garry newman 15:11:09
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss theres more precedent for the portal 64 one than for the tf2 one 15:11:26
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss valve seems to want to steer clear of nintendo at all costs 15:11:39
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp also, tyler mcvicker mentioned another project? something about a game that youtubers talked about, and got copyright strikes over? 15:11:56
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss i didnt see anything about this when i was just looking into the portal64 thing 15:12:37
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss is it a much older thing? 15:12:45
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp no clue, he said he was working on a video about it, then had to cancel it when he saw others get straight up strikes for it 15:14:43
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss as much good as valve does with steam, they treat their IPs fairly horribly 15:14:56
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp just look at tf2 15:15:06
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp also comments mentioned tf2 classic and opentf2, which got told to stop for reverse engineering and using leaked code 15:16:29
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss ah 15:16:38
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp might be the redistribution of assets and usage of a valve ip without being a mod or so 15:16:45
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss maybe the source code leak is the difference? 15:16:53
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp it was open source, the source 2 port, so no clue there 15:17:17
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss maybe they found proof of using the leak 15:17:31
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss all it would take is one developer doing it 15:17:43
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp garry's mod inherently had to use half life 2 as a base due to being a mod, and it got allowed into steam 15:17:51
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss or maybe they didnt even check or care and took it down 15:17:59
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss there wouldnt be an actual court case, too expensive 15:18:21
@_discord_163774782406393856:t2bot.ioentiss so it doesnt matter if they're right 15:18:31
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp also heard smth about s&box already being against porting stuff from valve into it, and that maybe valve just, didn't wait for them to take it down, and did so themselves 15:18:37
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp so it's, semi understandable, if you do step back to look at everything, but it still really sucks 15:19:10
@_discord_337283697231527937:t2bot.io_gerp mainly the portal 64 project, because that dude had to work so hard to work within the limits of the n64, and he was alone, compared to tf2s2 being an open source project 15:21:28
