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

    Stop with the fan projects already.

    These companies don’t give a shit and will just squash any project that they can’t milk for funding.

    Best case scenario you never release your work in fear of getting sued and nobody gets to play your game.

    Make new projects inspired by these games and actually build your own fanbase instead of being at the behest of greedy corporations.

      You know, you chose a bad post to get edgy.

      Valve is actually one of the companies that treats fan projects very well, sometimes they’ll even let you sell your project on Steam (see Black Mesa remake).

          Yes, but Valve didn’t block it based on their own IP. The focus really should be on the fact that Nintendo is so litigious. This was a fan project of a non-Nintendo IP. Their reputation is preceding them.
