They're defending their IP.

They're really wildly permissive with their IP, but combining it with other people's you also don't own is very obviously over the line.

I'm pretty confident if someone combined Valve's IP with anyone else's this would not have happened.

This is laughable.

If someone was making a valve game with spiderman in it, the same thing would happen. They're only going to ignore it if the other owner has a pattern of being OK with it, and even then they might want written permission.
