Over two years of development and a few months of legal tinkering later, we're finally getting Nightmare Kart.

          Yeah you don’t upload it last minute.

          Where did you read when it was uploaded? All I found was that the screenshot was made two hours before release. Chances are that Valve is being weird, just as they’ve been with the Dolphin emulator where Valve reached out to Nintendo to ask if they were fine with a Wii emulator and unsurprisingly Nintendo said no.

            Why would they though? Dolphin was very special case, this isn’t.

                Ok, and…?

                Valve doesn’t care if you’re infringing another company’s copyright (i.e. they’re not held liable) and they’re not your legal help either. The developer / publisher is liable for that. All Valve has to do is to respect dmca requests.

                There are many “legally distinc” clones of games on Steam. Hell, Palworld exists and they didn’t have a problem getting to the store front.

                For Dolphin the problem was a gray area of how it circumvents Wii’s drm.

    I’ve lost any and all interest after the inevitable copyright infringement complaint from Sony.

      I’ve lost any and all interest after the inevitable copyright infringement complaint from Sony.

      Unless I mistake this with another case, I’m pretty sure the “copyright complaint” was a well-meaning Sony employee who DM’ed the developer and suggested to make changes to Bloodborne Kart before nervous lawyers get wind of the game.
