    Steam has a workshop specifically for people to release mods on to. I understand you might be somehow new to the concept of mods, even though they’ve been a thing for 30-40 years now, but that’s what the Portal mod is - a mod.

    It’s even tagged as “mod” on the steam page.

    It’s not a recreation of the original game.

      i am aware of what a mod is and literally used it at you in reply–what you call them, however, has no relevance at all to my point. you’ve earned the thread’s first 3 day ban for your unnecessarily weird attitude about this.

      It being a mod doesn’t matter if it used copyrighted materials they don’t have permission to use to make it.

      It sounds like they had some stuff in there Nintendo took issue with, and since it was on Steam, which is owned by Valve, Valve took the mod down at the request of Nintendo.

      Wow there is no reason to be that rude with your “you might be somehow new…” comment, that was uncalled for.

        How is that rude, have they given any indication they understand what a mod is? They’re calling mods some ridiculous name from the forties. They might actually be new to pc modding.
