[CLOSED] SCP-087-B Remake on Steam

[OPEN] SCP-087-B Remake on Steam

Link to the game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/508590/

At the end of the description is an email belonging to the creators, so I've taken the time to message them directly about adding proper credits and licensing information. This went up on the 17th, so it's likely they'll actually *get* the email as well.

Will update if I get a reply or after 2 weeks from this date.

Update: A little over 2 weeks later and no response or action on the page. I believe we need to kick this upstairs.

At the direction of Vince, I went ahead and filed the takedowns for this myself instead. Awaiting action or reply.

Link now leads to the main Steam page (I also have a complaining email from the creator). This issue is now closed.

TL;DR An associate of the creator (who apparently speaks english poorly) came into chat to complain and ask us to lift our copyright complaint. I told him we would consider doing so if the creator attributes appropriately. Logs below

[16:47] Zerster Hey guys. I hope this is the right place. I have been in contact with the Developer of the Steam SCP 087 Remake, because I wanted to ask him what happened to the game. I also found about the game in this forum. I have read, that it has been removed because of licensing issues with you guys. I already sent a PM to Cimmerian before finding this chat.
[16:47] Zerster He told me he did not contact you, because his english is too bad. I said him I will try to contact you about this case. He would really like to have this game back on steam. Is there anything he can do, like, adding credits, license information, etc., like you wrote in the forums?
[16:48] Zerster If you want to try to contact him directly, he offered to contact him at email withheld You can also write me, I am in direct contact with him. I am trying to help him, because I want this game to be on steam, too, if it is possible. I really like SCP 087, it would be great to have it on steam.
[16:48] Vince Zerster: please hold
[16:53] Vince Zerster: I'm trying to find information on that to see what the problem was, hang on
[16:54] Zerster Thanks Vince. Do not hurry, I have time
[16:54] Vince Zerster: was it the "SCP-087-B" game?
[16:55] Zerster Yes
[16:56] Vince apparently we have already sent instructions on proper terms of use and attribution for our license.
[16:56] Vince did you not get that email?
[16:57] Zerster I am not the dev. But he said he did not get anything. Can you try to resend it to his email?
[16:57] Zerster I will inform him about your message
[16:58] Vince I can give you the information here, if that's alright.
[16:58] Zerster Sure
[16:59] Vince okay, so, here's our licensing guide. http://www.scp-wiki.net/licensing-guide
[16:59] jarvis vince: Licensing Guide (written 3 years ago by DrClef; rating: +38) - http://www.scp-wiki.net/licensing-guide
[17:00] Vince the important thing to remember is that we need to make sure you both give proper attribution (stating the name of the author and the title of the work that you are using in your game)
[17:00] Vince IN addition, you will need to link back to both the page on our site where that is at, which would be !SCP-087
[17:00] jarvis vince: SCP-087: The Stairwell (written 6 years ago by Zaeyde; rating: +1476) - http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087
[17:01] Vince and also to the CC-By-SA 3.0 license terms, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
[17:01] Vince there is an example of how it could potentially look on the first page of our licensing guide
[17:04] Zerster Thank you Vince. If he added this, will he have to send the game to you to "review" it? Because it is banned from steam because of copyright infringement. I think the only ones how can get this straight are you
[17:06] Vince I am unsure of how appeals are handled on steam. You can, of course, bring it back to us for review and we can tell you if it is correct or not.
[17:07] Vince but getting it back onto steam? I have no idea.
[17:08] Zerster I do not know how you report a copyright infringement to steam. Maybe you can get this removed the same way
[17:11] Vince Our team will look into it, and if the attribution is to our satisfaction we will see if Steam will allow us to rescind our dispute
[17:12] Zerster Thank you. I think this should be enough information to get a proper licensing information into the game. So, thank you Vince and have a nice day.
[17:13] Vince Have a good one
