The Steam page of recently released post-apocalyptic survival shooter Misery – seemingly unaffiliated with the Stalker mod called Misery – has been pulled offline, with developers Platypus Entertainment alleging it’s the result of a DMCA takedown filed by Stalker creators GSC Game World. Platypus say they’re in the process of fighting this claim, which an email shared by Platypus themselves suggests is all about copyright and purported use of GSC’s “game content” without permission.
