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.

It started out as a fun project by just a normal guy.

It is literally not possible to make a game like this any other way.

I would bet the concept goes underground and continues tho.

He uses Valve IP, therefore Valve was even the position to make any demands in the first place.

Valve cannot just go through the homebrew community and demand takedowns of random games. They could in this case solely because they own the assets. How is this so hard to understand that I have to repeat myself over and over again?
