Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

Hello, @jebox.bsky.social . I'm helping Unomelon with the DMCA counter-notice.

It would be just tops if you could get that DMCA pulled.

Our counter-notice means the game is still down for two+ weeks.

If Microsoft pulls the DMCA takedown notice, Allumeria should be back promptly.

Many thanks 🙏

This behavior brought to you by the same people who yell "But if you don't like what's on the TV, just change the channel."

Of course, my question is rhetorical and satirical. The social contract is the agreement that creates civilization. If it is disregarded by the governing party, then all bets are off regarding the response of the governed.
