Valve is great. Especially in comparison to some other game companies. Were this a Nintendo project, the devs would risk at best a Cease and Desist. The vibe I get from Nintendo is that they would probably flog their fan-game devs if they could legally get away with it.
Let's see if Bethesda, under Microsoft, maintains their support of mods.
- 7speter 5y agoMy head canon says that Valve allows fans of its ips to come out with these sorts of graphical remasters (theres also black mesa) because they are pretty preoccupied with steam.
- rockemsockem 5y agoI think it's more than that. Surely having a money printing machine like steam makes it easier to ignore stuff like this, but you also have to remember that Counter Strike was a fan-made mod in the beginning and now it's one of the most played games on the planet and Valve produces it itself now. There's got to be a baked in appreciation for how letting fans do these sorts of things can directly boost their profits.
