It strikes me that this attitude might carry more weight if it came from a company with a better library... I mean, they have a handful of good games, most of which are quite old, and otherwise, mostly act like a cheap sequel machine.
I wish there was a clear point at time where "Don't be evil," turned into "Let's be fucking evil." As it stands, all I can tell for sure is that we're definitely at the second.
In short: they can't. I mean, Nintendo could try, but it would definitely be thrown out. Valve was never directly involved in this project in any way, at least not until stepping in to shut it down. They were just concerned about their IP being in any way connected to anything unauthorized Nintendo.
the fangame runs on nintendo licensed hardware using nintendo licensed SDKs.
Legally shouldn't have ever been their problem. If I, without any permission, ported Mario 64 to the Xbox, it would make zero sense for Microsoft to raise issue with Nintendo over it.
A lot of fangames that mod valve games don't use any steam tools and Valve is still completely fine with the mods.
Statement's a little incongruous: I would take a fangame that mods Valve games to mean something like a Sonic game built on the Source engine. Regardless, I'm pretty sure I get your intended meaning, and the fact is, there really aren't that many to reference. I can only think of two notable ones off the top of my head, both of which are flash games, and both of which Valve ultimately did profit off of. After digging for a short while, I came up with two others, one being a short celebration of the series made for it's 25th anniversary by a very well-known fan site, and the other being an obscure Unreal Engine project. The only other thing I can think of that might apply is Xash, which they definitely aren't fine with, they just don't have the legal standing to get rid of it without legally endangering every third-party tool made for their games.
Hey, anyone remember when Hello Neighbor 2 was being developed as a new, unique game, but then TinyBuild scrapped that to make a different, way more generic game? Oh, and remember when they went mad with the false advertising of that game and made all kinds of massive promises about neural network AI that learns from players?
So you're over here agreeing with someone who literally said they would walk into every home to confiscate anything that may allow access to porn if they could, but me calling you out for being a fascist shithead is just me taking it personally? Okay, yeah, sure buddy.
So, you want to remove porn from every household in America because it can harm children... but not guns... because they can't? Get your head out of your ass, please.
So you think everyone should pay for the fact that you're a bad parent?
Edit: This user is probably just a troll who should be blocked/banned on sight. Their argument here today flies directly in the face of another moronic stance they displayed a week ago.
