I have received a large number of messages in my DM about where my Assassins Creed Shadows guide has disappeared to. I hereby confirm that it has been temporarily removed from public access due to a complaint received for violating the DMCA.

The essence of the complaint is that the copyright holder of the gaming portal PowerPyx accused me of stealing his intellectual property.

The copyright holder filed a complaint with Valve, the guide was immediately blocked without any investigation due to the fact that if Valve does not respond to the complaint, they may be held liable along with me if the essence of the complaint is confirmed. The guide has not been removed, but is hidden from public viewing.

Despite the fact that I do not deny that I use some information sources when writing guides and PowerPyx in particular too, the complaint contains a statement that the original article was stolen by me in its entirety, literally word for word, which does not correspond to reality.

At the moment, I have written a response to the complaint and provided it to Valve, and I am also open to communication with the copyright holder and have provided comments that the whole situation is the result of a misunderstanding.

However, according to Steam's rules, the investigation takes up to 10 business days and since I am convinced that I am right and confirm that the text descriptions, design, images and screenshots that are used belong to me or are made on the basis of materials that are published by the developers for free non-commercial use, I am republishing the guide.

This is a two-way street. If I manage to reject the complaint and restore the guide, I will have wasted time and you know that I love to post my guide as fast as I can. And if I republish the guide, I will have two separate guides, which is stupid. In the end, I am republishing the guide as insurance in case for some reason I cannot reach an agreement with the copyright holder or if Valve is convinced that the complaint is valid.

In any case, I ask you to additionally visit this guide and like, share, add it to your favorites in order to help it return to the top guides as it was before the blocking.

Thank you, I hope this situation will be resolved peacefully.
