Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn't even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

It's a shame, but their request doesn't seem unreasonable. No one likes dealing with Nintendo's lawyers. I hope switching SDKs works out!

Apparently even Valve's lawyers don't like dealing with Nintendo's lawyers.

I mean... Tbf, they are kinda dicks, so yeah, I get it.

If there's anything I've learned from my interactions with my local (city) government, it's that staff lawyers are lazy fucks who won't lift a finger to do what's clearly the right thing without somebody else that has power whipping them along.
