Microsoft withdrew a DMCA claim against indie developer Unomelon's voxel sandbox game Allumeria after alleging it contained Minecraft "gameplay and assets without authorisation." The developer restored the game to Steam without filing a counterclaim. Unomelon flagged the claim as potentially automated and called for investigation into such systems, citing their potential to damage independent creators.
