I don't think I can blame Valve much for this. They aren't so much taking Nintendo's side as trying to avoid shoveling money into a fire. They know Nintendo's reputation for waging expensive and often frivolous lawsuits and don't want to be on the receiving end. So their options are basically 1. put it up then take it down 3 days later when Nintendo sends them some bullshit or 2. ask nicely first in case there is a small chance that Nintendo is feeling nice today. Sure, it was obvious that 2 wasn't going to work. But maybe it is still better to shut this down before launch rather than 3 days later with extra disappointment after lots of work has been done. We should blame the legal system that Nintendo is using to bully others.
