Indie studio Tundra Interactive says its strategy RPG Void War was briefly pulled from Steam following a DMCA complaint it attributes to Games Workshop. The developer claims the dispute centers on character shoulder armour that allegedly resembles iconic Warhammer-style pauldrons.

  • Tundra Interactive announced that a copyright complaint prompted a temporary removal of Void War from Steam earlier this year.
  • The developer points to a specific design element—the characters' prominent shoulder armour—as the basis for the action.
  • The complaint is said to have been filed by Games Workshop, the company behind Warhammer, leading to a DMCA notice.
  • The episode highlights how intellectual-property claims can quickly impact small studios and their presence on major digital storefronts.
