Rimdeed was taken down under a trademark complaint. The mod was banned from steam at the 19th October 2021.

I received an email that Rimdeed was banned from Steam under a trademark complaint, the email said it infringed on the IP of the company this mod was based on. The email left me contact details at the bottom, it was all very official with the person being labelled a "PLAINTIFF" and me being labelled a "DEFENDANT" in capital letters.

I tried to get help from Steam and explained that this mod falls under parody, fair use but it was futile and I am told to read the email I was sent and contact the plaintiff. In more simple terms "It's your problem."

I didn't want to contact the plaintiff since I was emotional, felt angry and either I was going to say something unwise or my fears of getting nowhere and leaving with less than what I got (me believing it could've lead to a lawsuit) could come true.

Around November, Mario messages me in Ludeon privately, he is a lawyer and he's also done these kinds of cases before. He emphasised that he didn't want any money from me. He told me that my mod IS parody and it shouldn't have been removed from the workshop the way it did. He agreed to represent me pro bono (meaning "for free" to the Better Call Saul fans out there) and so he was working for me to help reinstate the mod. He did this because he had a strong belief in protecting the first amendment as a lawyer.

After some weeks of him contacting the plaintiff, the situation went to someone higher in their legal team and this person agreed with Mario to withdraw their trademark complaint. There was no need for me to change the name of the mod or add/remove anything from the mod. This person understood my situation, without agreeing or conceding whether anybody was "wrong" this person helped us get this situation dealt with in time before Christmas.

Valve (after being poked with a stick a few times) then reinstated the mod and now Mr. Fluffles has a job again.

Note: Indeed.inc was made aware of the situation and was more than happy to restore the mod and withdraw the claim, please do not send any form of negative or hateful posts towards them. The whole thing was solved with their help done in good faith.
