…It would’ve directly competed with an active game that Valve are still monetising, using the same assets, on an engine made by Valve themselves. Compare to Black Mesa: a remake of a very old game on a new engine using altered assets; and even then, Valve asked for a cut.

The outrage is undeserved. Doubly so because the devs themselves said they were stopping production anyways due to technical difficulties
