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

Here’s the bullet points: Valve doesn’t want Nintendo getting involved Valve think Nintendo will get involved because the project is using confidential Nintendo code Valve think Nintendo may litigate (or are already) against them because Portal is Valve’s IP Valve want it down so Nintendo can’t mistake it to be Valve’s responsibility and so Valve don’t get the blame
