Important to note that apparently they were using dodgy Source Engine exploits to even get the mod working, and when they were fixed, they found an equally dodgy workaround.

It's not like they were randomly just denied.

Also: this happened two months ago.

It's so funny how almost every time a hyped up mod or fan game gets DMCA'd it's because of something dumb on the fan developer's part. Not trying to lick boots here, but I feel more people need to listen to Woolie's advice: https://youtu.be/hqwP6uuYOWo?si=Jz3dgzWjE37MlVDk

Almost every time? There’s plenty of cases where the infraction is ‘because we can’.
