It's a really sad news here: Valve reported a copyright complaint and they will remove my build from Steam very soon (surely tomorrow).
The complaint doesn't come from Warner Bros. (the real IP holders). That's why it's a bit annoying to me.
I'm trying to figure out because I have a clear agreement of principle from Warner Bros L.A. Digital Department since Nov 2017.
I'm really disappointed with that kind of behavior on a free fan made project generating $0 and not taking profit to anyone.
I want to insist on the fact that I would never have distributed this experience without the agreement of the IP holder.
At this moment, I still don't have any reply from the plaintiff but my builds are already shutdown from Viveport. Steam will follow tomorrow.

Last hours guys :(
I still don't have any reply from the plaintiff and I'm waiting for additional information about exclusivity from WB. Maybe they don't tell me everything.
I'm very glad lots of people liked my work even if it was not really a game.
Thank you for all your kind words and keep in touch on the website or my twitter account.

Shutting down my 3years fan made VR experience from steam & viveport was not enough. My videos are now down too.

BUILD 1.001
First, I want to thank you all.
There are so many positive reviews. I didn't except this!
I understand negative ones quite well as this isn't a game and the "gameplay" could be much better, with more interactions, achievements, hidden artefacts, ...
I still have lots of ideas to improve this experience but, as some of you know, it takes ages to build this kind of things :/
I'll try to read all the remarks and keep the realistic ones in my TODO list and you can follow it on my devblog br9732.com.
Cheers,
Q.
