Valve blocked a demo from a Japanese INDIE dev Daikichi, moderation flagged a self-reference as potential IP infringement 😬

Inside WIRED TOKYO 2007 are «dinosaur card games», a clear callback to Dinostone (released 2023). Steam is asking for license papers or a legal opinion, but the previous title was published under a pseudonym so proving authorship is messy and hiring a lawyer is out of budget. Daikichi wrote and signed a document granting himself permission to use his own work, resubmitted it and now waits for the platform's answer. If WIRED TOKYO 2007 ships, it'll be PC on Steam only, with no Russian localization.
