Yep, I can understand that they don’t want to fight someone else’s fight.

Correct. Valve could have let them release it and let Nintendo go through the DMCA process. As long as Valve follows the process, they would not be the subject of any litigation.

They decided to break the process.

In terms of user content this would be correct. However when it comes to games on the platform valve does do curation to ensure games run etc. I don’t know if it has been tested, but that curation could exclude them from the protection. If that was the case they could be directly sued for copyright infringement.

Rules:

  • 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
  • 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy “anti-woke” energy, you probably shouldn’t be posting it here.
  • 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
