Matt Furie, the owner of Pepe the Frog (a poorly drawn cartoon frog that was hijacked and popularized many years ago by the internet, then came to public prominence during the Trump election) had a lawyer file Copyright claim against all Pepe the Frog uses on Steam.
Apparently, even though our Rare Deplorable commando frog and Donald Toad emoticon (CLEARLY a toad and not a frog!) are our own original art & characters, just filing the claim means Valve must take them down.
If we sign a thing that says the Furie one can sue us and not them Valve will put it back up. At the moment we're not going to sign that because going to court is...bad even if we're right.
I guess Ol' Matty boy thinks he owns all cartoon frogs now or something...oddly enough his 'Pepe' looks a whoooole lot like Kermit the Frog to me.
Unfortunate!
