Solely Up!, a not-so-endless runner that lately took off on Twitch, has been inexplicably faraway from Steam with no warning, however there’s cause to imagine it’d’ve been eliminated because of a copyright dispute with an artist claiming the sport makes use of one among their belongings.
Developer SC-KR Video games posted to its Twitter (thanks PC Gamer) that the sport can be out there for buy once more on Steam “quickly” after it was taken down earlier in the present day. For these not within the know, Solely Up! principally has you operating by way of an impediment course and parkouring by way of it regularly escalates. The aim appears to be to succeed in area, which suggests you’re making a continuing ascent from the bottom to the countless void. So in brief, you’re going…solely up.
As of this writing, Solely Up! has in a short time amassed a robust Twitch following, with over 90,000 viewers and 55,000 customers following the sport on the streaming platform. Whereas it’s having a profitable run on Twitch, a 3D artist is claiming the sport makes use of one among their 3D fashions, which was listed without spending a dime use so long as it wasn’t for business functions.
The mannequin in query is listed on Sketchfab, which explicitly states its for non-commercial use. Solely Up! is a $10 sport, andit’s getting used to earn a living, which matches immediately towards the rules set out. It’s unclear at this level if that is the explanation Solely Up! was delisted, however we’ve reached out to Valve and SC-KR Video games for clarification.
As PC Gamer factors out, Solely Up! has handled some controversy previous to this as a result of it has NFT promotion, however Steam solely has guidelines towards NFTs if you happen to’re shopping for and promoting them in-game, relatively than merely selling them.
