This is such a shame, it is such exceptional work... Hopefully switching engines will allow the project to continue.

because it "depends on Nintendo's proprietary libraries."

At first I was a bit disappointed in Valve, but this really clarified some things. Valve is legit scared of litigation with Nintendo, which is 100% a thing I would expect any company to be scared of.

A similar thing happened with dolphin emulator when they tried to release on Steam i think

I wouldn't say it's legit scared.

More like, why? Why fight on behalf of some random person who doesn't have a history with Valve?

Why would anybody risk an extremely long drawn out and expensive lawsuit because of a nobody who has a really cool demo?
