Yeah, I also don’t think it’s terribly crazy for a company like valve to protect its IP when it’s being directly copied. Valve has also traditionally been very good about reaching out to these sorts of devs and making deals with them

They got approved by the same valve for steam greenlight though

Except for when they’re extremely bad at doing this and use it as a weapon, such as what they did with TF2C.
