Void War takedown tied to Games Workshop over Warhammer‑style shoulder pads, says developer
TL;DR
Indie studio Tundra Interactive says Void War was temporarily pulled from Steam after a DMCA filed by Games Workshop over shoulder pads in the trailer that resembled Warhammer 40K; Tundra disputes the claim but removed the trailer to avoid legal delays, and the game has since returned to Steam with a revised trailer while they work on translations and updates.
