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.

      Ok sure, we can completely fund all medical research by the public, but I’m not so sure how this would work out. This would be a bit too much communism for my taste.

        I recommend ignoring the ideologies of communism/capitalism.

        Focus on real solutions to real problems, pragmatism.

          People assign words to ideas in order to communicate efficiently. I’m not from the US, I don’t suffer from hurr durr party this, party that. “Communisum” is just the term, which most accurately depicted what I meant.

        Funding medical research is “too much communism”???

          Try actually reading what I wrote. But you’re right: Not reading properly anything indeed means we quite cooked.
