Take the project down... from Steam. After the Dolphin Emulator situation this seems like a completely expected result. The HN title should be fixed.

- MaximilianEmel 3y agoThis has nothing to do with Steam (as far as I know it was never on Steam, nor planned to be). The project's git repo [0] is down, and he implies he will not be working on it anymore. He has also said [1] that he will be taking down the ROM download (patcher) [2] soon, as well.

- danjoredd 3y agoI wish there were still a fork of it somewhere. I understand that he wants to honor Valve's request, but it was too cool of a project to just...disappear like that.
- Onavo 3y agoHonor request? You mean they sent lawyers and C and Ds after him. There needs to be the software equivalent of the ACLU to defend open source authors.
- danjoredd 3y agoHe still has to honor the request, even if it is for legal reasons. All Im saying is, I wish there were viable forks available so we could still play it
- zorgmonkey 3y agoIt looks like someone already uploaded the code to the internet archive with git history https://archive.org/download/portal64_202401/portal64-repo.zip https://archive.org/download/portal64_202401/portal64-repo.z... for stuff like this it is often better to search the manual uploads to internet archive instead of by URL.
