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)

This is such a shame, it is such exceptional work... Hopefully switching engines will allow the project to continue.

They're explained and what gets marked as normal means normal for what their goal towards the general public seems to be, you just look like an insane person with what your profile looks like.

You are the problem if you think a billion dollar corporation should steal game controllers, should not offer refunds, should locked games into locations and other criminal activity that can put you in jail.

All of those things sounds like conspiracy theory talk to me because none of what you said is strange.

There's no stealing a controller design and there never has been, they offer refunds in their exact terms which everyone knows and the locking games in locations (if true) is 100% controlled by the person who put the games on Steam.

AU found Valve guilty of violating the law:

EU found Valve guilty of breaking the GEOlock rules:

You’re in the wrong, Valve is a criminal organization.

Every other organization is also a criminal organization, no one cares that they stole a patent and they have always been fair and square with their return times.

Stop dedicating your life to hating on Valve and looking at only negative stuff especially when it DOES NOT matter.
