After a quick back-and-forth this week, Microsoft has withdrawn a copyright claim it filed against developer Unomelon for Allumeria–a game that the company initially claimed had infringed on Minecraft‘s IP.
Unomelon shared news of this update in a Discord post on February 11, according to PC Gamer. In the post, the team confirmed that the DMCA takedown was removed, which then restored Allumeria’s Steam store page, too.
“Microsoft has withdrawn the copyright claim with no action needed on my part,” Unomelon said. “This is the best-case scenario. I just woke up from a nap, so I am still not sure about the details, but whatever happened, it worked. The Steam page and game [have] been fully restored, and I did not need to file a counterclaim, meaning there will be no chance of a lawsuit!”
