Safeguarding 3DIVISION: DMCA Counter-Notice and Game Protection
CEE
3DIVISION is an independent video game development & publishing studio focusing on PC and console games, including their titles Air Conflicts and Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.
The Challenge
3DIVISION, became the subject of DMCA takedown notices from a dissatisfied player alleging copyright violations. By law, these notices caused Steam to make the game unavailable for sale.
How we solved the problem
