The Sinking City is no longer searchable from within Steam itself, and external links to the game’s product page now redirect to the main storefront.
“So we have responded to that notice,” Lombardi said.
To Vice on Tuesday evening, Valve spokesman Doug Lombardi said Steam “received a DMCA take-down notice” for the version of The Sinking City that Nacon has shipped - the one Frogwares calls a hacked and pirated copy of their game.
Frogwares, the studio locked in an acrimonious dispute with publisher Nacon over their game, The Sinking City, used a DMCA claim to have it removed from Steam’s storefront, a Valve spokesman confirmed.
