Why isn't Valve doing anything about Counter Blox, a ROBLOX copy that is making money off of stolen assets

[turkler]

I'm gonna get straight into the topic

For people who are not aware, there is a ROBLOX game (https://web.roblox.com/games/301549746/GLOVES-Counter-Blox) and it's clearly stealing assets from CS:GO. The biggest example is the announcement sounds such as 'The bomb has been planted' and the bomb beeping sounds, the clicking noise from the old menu, and various other sounds used thru the game. It also steals textures from CS:GO, such as the Counter-Terrorists logo that is used in the main menu of the game. Not to mention, straight copied maps, they're basically remake copies of the map. Now, it used to also steal the CS:GO gun meshes, but they have been removed a while ago so I'm not gonna count that.

Now, a counter to this I see is that ''They are not making any money from it and it's fair use''. The problem that it's wrong. As you can see here ( https://gyazo.com/b740e27d6cab284a61c9897d24ba6b46 ) is that they're selling weapon skins and in-game funds for Robux, a virtual currency used in the Roblox platform which can be cashed out as real money using Roblox's 'Developer Exchange Program (Learn more here https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203314100-Developer-Exchange-DevEx-FAQs ) and they are creating income from stolen CS:GO assets, and Valve is not doing anything.


TL;DR: Bunch of people are earning money from stolen assets

That or they don't care because they have always loved the community tinkering with things, I mean, even CS was born that way.

Besides, I don't think the game is sold on Steam, and if some website somewhere hosts it - it's not like you can just take it down.

Good point, CS was born from a mod so taking down a game that is meant to sort of emulate it would be pretty stupid.

And they probably can't actually sue the Roblox CS:GO as it has no legal licenses to be an official game, it's a creation, like in Minecraft, there are CS:GO copies.
They are add-ons, not games like BF or Cod.

Srsly? Counter Blox was the first game ever made! ROBLOX should sue valve tbh.

Roblox was out in Early 2000’s, first CS model on the other hand late 1990’s. The first idea was Valves.

This is easy. Because Valve don’t want to act like Pubg developers that going around suing other battle royale games.

How is that related to csgo and the roblox carbon copy?

Yea. I think the only thing that could possibly be copyright in the roblox version is the roblox version anyways is the sounds. But I'm pretty sure those are stock sound effects anyways which in that case the roblox dude would have permission to use them anyways.

Most CSGO gun sounds are actually not licensed by valve and they are stock sounds recorded for movies/games by the military.

They can, Nintendo sued ROBLOX in the past for the entire Pokemon Brick Bronze rip-off, and ROBLOX moderators made sure it has been deleted and no copies exist, why not Valve?

Using maps, sounds etc. isn´t completly forbitten.
Otherwise videos like these wouldn´t exist:

Right, that one is a obvious parody (Seriously) and CB:RO is more of a asset rip-off.
