Yeah what I don’t understand is why Valve are defending Nintendo’s IP here. They didn’t send a cease and desist because it was Portal, they sent it because it uses Nintendo’s libraries.
Makes me wonder if there was some kind of legal settlement after the whole Dolphin emulator on Steam thing.
They’re worried that by doing nothing they’re implicitly endorsing the project and they don’t want to give permission for their IP to infringe on Nintendo’s.

Nintendo would technically still be able to come after it, but at that point I doubt they’d care.
