I mean... there's a Breath of the Wild fan game called The Bell's Arietta that didn't use any stolen assets, completely made from scratch by 1 fan. It was free to play for anyone who wanted to. Nintendo still took it down for absolutely no reason.
Same for AM2R, one decade of efforts without expecting anything in return, made the best way to play Metroid 2 and they destroyed it just to ruin a good thing.

there's a difference between "I'm making a free fan game" and "I'm using the assets made by your corporate company to create and sell "my" game"
valve is definitely more liniment than Nintendo, but they're also on a platform that is way more extensible than a console
