It looks like Valve doesn't want to get involved in a potential dispute between the creator of Portal 64 and Nintendo.

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

    It’s explained in the article, actually. ;)

    The project was using Nintendo proprietary libraries, and Valve’s already shown on previous occasion that they don’t really want to go to court with sue-happy Nintendo.

      Why would Valve be sued by Nintendo, considering that they aren’t involved with that fan project at all?
