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.

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.
