これが私自身が私自身にライセンスを許可した歴史的な例の書類です。 今後同様の問題に直面した開発者のために公開しておくことにしました。 重ね重ね、Steamの柔軟なサポートに感謝します。
Daikichi This is a document of a historical example in which I myself granted a license to myself. I have decided to make it public for developers who may face similar issues in the future. Once again, I sincerely thank Steam for their flexible support. Daikichi

I’m glad both parties could come to a resolution… sometimes copyright lawsuits can get quite nasty abd lengthy! Would hate for this poor idie dev to go bankrupt to himself suing himself. Refreshing!

Somehow Nintendo is making money from this regardless

Yeah, because you just said their name… I hope you’ve got good lawyers, buddy.
