Microsoft’s copyright team sent a DMCA takedown notice to the indie studio behind Allumeria, claiming the game used assets from Minecraft. The notice triggered Steam’s removal of the title just weeks before the developer’s planned showcase at Steam Next Fest 2026, threatening the game’s visibility and revenue prospects. Attorney Leonard French explains that a DMCA counter‑notice has been filed, but Valve’s policy mandates a two‑week waiting period for the claimant to respond and another two weeks before the game can be reinstated. The claim appears to stem from an AI‑driven content‑identification system that flagged a single screenshot in the Steam gallery rather than any in‑game material, illustrating the fragility of automated enforcement. French notes that Mojang’s COO is aware of the situation and urges the community to amplify the issue via Blue Sky posts, hoping that public pressure will prompt Microsoft to withdraw the original notice. He emphasizes that the false positive could prevent the developer from participating in Next Fest, a critical marketing window. The episode highlights how AI‑generated takedowns can jeopardize small studios, delay product launches, and strain relationships between platform holders and creators. It underscores the need for clearer review processes and rapid remediation mechanisms to protect indie innovation.
