whats with the copyright claim?
[QUOTE=AD/HD;51458989]whats with the copyright claim?[/QUOTE]
dumb drama involving VLEK, creator of the liquor locker, claiming to own the idea of chest cosmetics in tf2 as he accuses them of stealing his idea
i think he assumed they had ripped his model, actually, which is a much fairer complaint to make (though still dumb given the circumstances)
do I need to recall the time Bapaul assumed I'd stolen the model of the Nunhood for the Crit Cloak? Don't immediately go and call Vlek an idiot. the two items are visually very similar.
You didn't have to recall that no
[QUOTE=Bapaul;51461257]You didn't have to recall that no[/QUOTE]
I was recalling it because it was another valid circumstance where two similar items were confused for one being a model rip of another
I don't hold it against you, your concerns were 100% valid
I think the problem stems from Vlek trying to claim credit over something he didn't actually work on, but just because he had another item with a similar idea. Then just being a copyright bully when they disagreed.

That's just scummy.
its really stupid to call a DMCA takedown on something like this, VLEK crearly doesnt understand how laws work...really childish i think...you cant just call a LEGAL act as if it was like calling your dad to punish your lil brother, a DMCA takedown have to be done after you have the LEGAL proofs of being the owner of a registered content.
[editline]2nd December 2016[/editline]
here is the law by the world intellectual property organization of the united states, Vlek, go read it:

after you read this with a lawyer THEN you can call a DMCA takedown act on someone, kids please dont try to play adult's games, the world of laws isnt as simple as just clicking a "report button".
I'm genuinely curious what is his version? I can't seem to find it on workshop.

Man! That's a big difference. I was genuinely expecting something similar if not the same to warrant a notice but they are just so different from each other.

Yeah, it doesn't look like anyone stole anything, but made a similiar item called chest. Unless they used any part of the texture or model from the original, there is no case here for DMCA.
I understand everyone's discomfort with this situation but there's no need to drag it on any longer. Valve looks at all the DMCA complaints on items and will clearly understand what's going on.
In other news, the cosmetic items chosen for the Mayann SFM video will be announced on December 10th along with some teaser images, so stay tuned!

anyone with two functioning eyes can clearly see the immediate difference between the two items. I would question your eyesight if you didn't. no excuses.

It's not a fair complaint at all when it's blatantly incorrect.

Make sure to choose FiveEye's chest instead of Vlek's just to piss him off even further.

Here's some unusual (and item) concepts medli20 and I (but mostly medli20) have come up with for the Tropical/Jungle theme! It's based off of dirty thunderstorms from volcanic eruptions.

An effect from a collab between heartLyss, medli20 and I.
Votes are appreciated. :joy:[/QUOTE]
so.... valve just killed all community projects? and instead they will just grab the items they like from the workshop based on what they tell us to do now? wow....
now is like they say "we want a /insert theme here/, workshop *clap clap* do it"
im pretty sure they just picked Jungle as their first theme because they see that we all have work A LOT on MAYANN and maybe they don't want those items to be lost, but don't be surprised to see that the next "themed community update" will be based on "war" just to save some frontline items....
that idea is really bad, that is turning a COMMUNITY into a MASS PRODUCTION HAT MACHINE.

The reason Valve had to do this was because there was a bunch of bickering behind the scenes for Invasion over how the revenue from the update would be shared, which caused the update to be delayed and [URL="http://i.imgur.com/JPgqv9E.png"]forced Valve to put their foot down over revenue sharing for the update. [/URL]
It was a good move from Valve to do this change, because they don't want a small group of people to do stuff for the game but give everyone an equal chance to do that. So now even if Mayan is never going to be a reality as a standalone update, items, effects and maps can be fit into jungle theme itself. Same thing can happen for the other community projects too in the future, should they decide to continue this path.

Yeah if everything had gone smoothly with the previous updates I would be a little disappointed with Valve but after what happened with Invasion I can't blame them.
Plus it's really cool Valve is getting involved and they're putting out new art assets for their map, I'm sure the new assets will look great like how Asteroid's assets look great.

Hopefully they'll put out some gameplay changes as well like weapon stats (a man can only dream...) so you guys don't get the usual outrage with not having new weapons implemented.

Its not like they saw what the community was doing and called it their own idea
[IMG]http://puu.sh/sGHf4/4f8debbb5e.png[/IMG]
I think its real neat they decided they liked the idea and started doing their own thing.

Up for grabs!
After almost 2 years in the making, I've uploaded ctf_rift to the workshop! It doesn't actually have any mayann assets, but I thought I'd post it here because it has the theme anyway.
