Only Up!
- ... that Only Up! was removed from Steam twice: once after a copyright violation and again after SCKR Games, the indie developer behind the game, was stressed? Source: [1]: "The model in question is listed on Sketchfab, which explicitly states its for non-commercial use. Only Up! is a $10 game, and it’s being used to make money, which goes directly against the guidelines set out." and [2]: "The post added that the developer plans to “take a pause” and continue their education..."

Overall: 
@TrademarkedTarantula: Could you clarify what makes Dexerto, In The Know, TechAU, and Try Hard Guides reliable sources? Furthermore, please consider this slightly shortened hook:
- ALT0a: ... that Only Up! was removed from sale twice: once over copyright violations and again to alleviate the developer's stress?
Lastly, albeit strictly optional in the scope of this DYK, I think you should mention the numerous clones that have been created. Sources include this one, which I found on a whim. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 10:02, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- Just passing by this nom, but I noticed Dexerto does have an editorial policy, physical address and staff listed, which is a good sign [3]. Not so good, there was an RfC at the reliable sources noticeboard to deprecate it (the RfC did not pass). ☆ Bri (talk) 02:54, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- For TechAU and Try Hard Guides, I've discussed their reliability here. Not so sure about In The Know... I'll have to delete it. TarantulaTM (speak with me) (my legacy) 07:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Point taken in regards to Try Hard Guides, and it appears Dexerto is considered situational per WP:VG/RS. I also found that In the Know is part of Yahoo!; assuming it is held to similar standards, it might be reliable after all. The author of that particular review also has creds. On the other hand, I think TechAU should be removed: The editor's only relevant experience is with the site itself. You should consider listing them at WT:VG/RS at some point, although this is out-of-scope for this DYK and I don't want to hold it up for too long. IceWelder [✉] 12:20, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- Re ALT0a, I like its conciseness. However, I'd like to make a few changes to it:
ALT0b: ...that Only Up! was removed from Steam twice: once over copyright violations and again to alleviate the developer's stress?
Re TechAU usage, I have removed the source from the article. TarantulaTM (speak with me) (my legacy) 06:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
