Unomelon, the developer of Minecraft-inspired sandbox game Allumeria, says a DMCA from Microsoft, evidently related to Minecraft, got the game removed from Steam.

“The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it,” Unomelon said on Bluesky on Tuesday. “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.”

The screenshot in question (above) is a simple wide shot of a forest filled with birch trees, what look to be oak trees with green and autumnal leaves, and a few pumpkins and weeds checkering the grassy dirt. There are definitely some similarities to Minecraft; if you told me this was a screenshot of a Minecraft mod, I’d probably believe you, but that’s true of many voxel-based games, including Hytale.

      So are you eliminating/drastically reducing health and safety trials for new drugs, tripling taxes to throw vast amounts of public money at the problem and instead having the solve the hard problems of government waste and political corruption, or having a glorious workers revolution that this time unlike all the other tines actually creates a communist utopia and not something that doesn’t count, or is this a hypothetical post-scarcity scenario or what?

          i’ll go ahead and assert that you’re not actually reading the comments you’re replying to. at the very least your replies give no indication of comprehension.
