Valve is historically terrible at communicating what is and isn鈥檛 okay, but this shouldn鈥檛 be a surprise to the devs after they took down the fan-made TF2 remake.
They got approved by the same valve for steam greenlight though
Yeah, I also don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 terribly crazy for a company like valve to protect its IP when it鈥檚 being directly copied. Valve has also traditionally been very good about reaching out to these sorts of devs and making deals with them
Except for when they鈥檙e extremely bad at doing this and use it as a weapon, such as what they did with TF2C.
Yup, while keeping their mouth shut works for a lot things, it is awful for many others.
