That really sucks. I guess I can see why Valve is not so permissive when it comes to one of their major cash cows. But it seems like they handled this really poorly by initially signalling permission for the project and then deciding otherwise at the last minute and after years of work.
There was a separate thread on Lemmy, where someone found out Devs of CO used leaked source code of the Source Engine from 2017, hence the C&D
I don’t get it. Used it for what? Why would they need leaked source engine code to make a mod for the source engine with the official SDK?
