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's explained in the article, actually. ;)

The project was using Nintendo proprietary libraries, and Valve's already shown on previous occasion that they don't really want to go to court with sue-happy Nintendo.

Why would Valve be sued by Nintendo, considering that they aren't involved with that fan project at all?

Dear fucking god yeah then Valve was definitely trying to save these idiots from themselves, thats nearly certain to get them fucked.
