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.

Why would a grown ass adult put so much effort into an unlicensed dupilcation of copyrighted IP (Valve) and build it on top of a system from a company known for ridiculous enofrcement of IP that had a walled garden of access to their game system IP that is protected by the copyright cabal supported DMCA?

There's more sides and nuance to all of this.

He could've made Portal in the style of a 90s console instead of directly declaring it N64 and only had to tend with permission for it as a mod from Valve's sometimes permissive pov without crazy assed 'Tendo being involved.
