That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says - eviltoast
It looks like Valve doesn't want to get involved in a potential dispute between the creator of Portal 64 and Nintendo.

Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn’t even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

    Pure speculation:

    Nitendo is one of the most notorious copyright litigators in the industry, it would not surprise me if they objected to the use of their libraries and pressured valve to exercise their ownership of the IP to shut it down

    I know nothing about this, so honestly don’t listen to me. But Nitendo is a huge joykill so I’m happy just assuming it’s at least partly their fault
