It looks like Valve doesn't want to get involved in a potential dispute between the creator of Portal 64 and Nintendo.

Honestly, a bit surprised by this. It wasn’t even on Steam. Hopefully switching to an open source SDK will get this back up.

    So you are clearly talking about trademark. A game design can’t be trademarked. Only the name. Yes, if the name could be confused, that could be an issue. Maybe the cover art to some extent, if it is trademarked.

    But if the game origin can be confused, so what? No law against that.
