I think we might be talking past each other, or we’ll have to agree to disagree. I stand by my claim that that message has no explanation, no details, and no specific steps for developers to reform their game. They even threaten the developer by saying they have exactly one chance to remove all of the unnamed supposedly-infringing content, or else they’ll never be able to publish their game.

I should sign off now because I was about to write “in what universe does this seem reasonable?” and then I remembered it’s not worth getting dragged down by this nonsense. There are lots of intellectually satisfying problems to work on. Valve may be relevant now, but a decade tends to favor upstarts. The way to deal with this is to make Valve irrelevant, which is a matter of patience and time.
