Steam stops indie developer from releasing a game for infringing the copyright of his own work
An indie developer's game, Wired Tokyo 2007, was blocked from release on Steam due to alleged copyright infringement of third-party intellectual property. The developer claims to own the copyright for all assets, including board game elements used within his own game. Steam support is reportedly demanding proof of licensing or IP ownership, which the developer finds unreasonable and difficult to provide.
