    No surprise here.

    Wish modders would learn that some publishers don’t want any content made for their intellectual property and it’s better to spend the time and effort to make your own original project instead.

    You like cod? Cool! Make something inspired by it instead of something that will just get sued out of existence.

      Yea it’s risky piggybacking on megacorps properties for indie development, Although Plutonium Project is still up and shows it’s possible to do what H2M was doing (unless there’s some loophole i’m not aware of).

        It is always possible to not get noticed for a while but there is no guarantee that that won’t change in the next minute.

      Or stick to doing it to valves properties. They’ll not only support you, they’ll probably hire you.

    And they waited until the day before release, if what I read somewhere else was correct.
