Portal 64 dev says “don’t be mad at Valve” for the project’s shutdown - sh.itjust.works

I’m mad at Nintendo, apparently that’s who valve is afraid of getting sued by!

still, I think while a lot of people loved watching this get built I’d be surprised if a lot of people actually played it and he said he was almost relieved - he got an amazing amount accomplished but another 2 years of work is a lot!

I’m super interested to see what he does next. Smart guy and his videos are really interesting, and a lot of people know who he is now.

Can someone ELI5 how valve could possibly be held responsible for this? As far as I know, valve had nothing to do with the project.
My guess is something along the lines of violating the end user agreement of Nintendos Intellectual property the code that the N64 uses. Same reason you can’t really get old ROMs of Nintendo games.
