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.

I think you need to read the comment you replied to again.

Here's the bullet points:

Valve doesn't want Nintendo getting involved

Valve think Nintendo will get involved because the project is using confidential Nintendo code

Valve think Nintendo may litigate (or are already) against them because Portal is Valve's IP

Valve want it down so Nintendo can't mistake it to be Valve's responsibility and so Valve don't get the blame
