This is such a shame, it is such exceptional work... Hopefully switching engines will allow the project to continue.

All of those things sounds like conspiracy theory talk to me because none of what you said is strange.

There's no stealing a controller design and there never has been, they offer refunds in their exact terms which everyone knows and the locking games in locations (if true) is 100% controlled by the person who put the games on Steam.

They stole patient design:

AU found Valve guilty of violating the law:

EU found Valve guilty of breaking the GEOlock rules:

You’re in the wrong, Valve is a criminal organization.

Every other organization is also a criminal organization, no one cares that they stole a patent and they have always been fair and square with their return times.

Stop dedicating your life to hating on Valve and looking at only negative stuff especially when it DOES NOT matter.
