Valve request takes down Portal 64 due to concerns over Nintendo involvement

It's not the use of Portal , it's the use of an N64 SDK that's the issue.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social So, just don't use the SDK. There should be something else you can use that's opensource and works on the N64.

@arstechnica@mastodon.social it’s cute, but I’m not so hot on n64 graphics that I would build a version of Portal just to prove it could be done.

Following blocking Dolphin on Steam, this is the second time I know of where Valve has acted on Nintendo's behalf
