Overview
- Microsoft’s Feb. 10 takedown alleged Allumeria used Minecraft gameplay and assets, prompting Steam to disable the game’s page and demo.
- On Feb. 11, the developer shared emails confirming Microsoft retracted the claim, and the Steam listing was restored without a counter-notice.
- Unomelon had reported receiving a notice citing a single birch-forest screenshot as evidence of infringement.
- The developer suggested the notice may have originated from an automated service such as Tracer.AI, a point not confirmed by Microsoft.
- Valve’s policy allows a counter-notice with a 10‑day window for legal action, though it was not required after the claim was withdrawn.
