subsonicbeatz154 | Valve asked for it to be taken down out of concern of being contacted by Nintendo. | 14:50:11 |
idiot In-training | What really? | 14:52:14 |
idiot In-training | Was it portal on an N64, or just Portal styled like an N64 game? | 14:52:31 |
The Ethereal One | the first | 14:53:44 |
_gerp | yea, former, entirely on the n64... wtf valve | 14:57:57 |
_gerp | heard they also cancelled the source 2 fan port of tf2 | 14:58:13 |
The Ethereal One | it's weird because it was a sweep of github repos, I hope it was a mistake from a new firm | 15:05:50 |
entiss | it wasnt a dmca | 15:09:22 |
_gerp | reading, some say it's due to some developer code things from nintendo mixed with valve's ip being thrown into the mix | 15:09:38 |
entiss | from what i could find, valve contacted the portal 64 dev directly | 15:09:48 |
entiss | no legal action | 15:09:52 |
anjacup14 | Yeah people and news sites are throwing out the term DMCA like party favours | 15:10:06 |
entiss | there was a tf2 remake project that just got dmca'd though, i think | 15:10:08 |
_gerp | in s&box, the source 2 platform thing from garry newman | 15:11:09 |
entiss | theres more precedent for the portal 64 one than for the tf2 one | 15:11:26 |
entiss | valve seems to want to steer clear of nintendo at all costs | 15:11:39 |
_gerp | also, tyler mcvicker mentioned another project? something about a game that youtubers talked about, and got copyright strikes over? | 15:11:56 |
entiss | i didnt see anything about this when i was just looking into the portal64 thing | 15:12:37 |
entiss | is it a much older thing? | 15:12:45 |
_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 |
entiss | as much good as valve does with steam, they treat their IPs fairly horribly | 15:14:56 |
_gerp | just look at tf2 | 15:15:06 |
_gerp | also comments mentioned tf2 classic and opentf2, which got told to stop for reverse engineering and using leaked code | 15:16:29 |
entiss | ah | 15:16:38 |
_gerp | might be the redistribution of assets and usage of a valve ip without being a mod or so | 15:16:45 |
entiss | maybe the source code leak is the difference? | 15:16:53 |
_gerp | it was open source, the source 2 port, so no clue there | 15:17:17 |
entiss | maybe they found proof of using the leak | 15:17:31 |
entiss | all it would take is one developer doing it | 15:17:43 |
_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 |
