Everything with the dcma has been resolved and the game is back on steam, for $1 it does offer a lot of content currently such as dinosaurs, robots, explosions, a survival mode and another wave based mode where you protect a machine, and with much more to come such as pvp, and racing. Plus until july 4th it is only $0.49 for some dino shooting fun. Frankly $1 is is worth it just to explore the maps they have created, they do look amazing.

The developers really do care about the game, and community, and are active in the game, and on the steam discussions.

NOTE Please don't take over this thread with commnts about the dcma, or anything relating to asset stealing as those have all been resolved.

What happened regarding the DCMA, and what is this game anyway? I've never heard of it....

activision had the game removed from the steam store as a result of their dmca claim. I guess the ORION team used (stolen? or copied/very similar) gun assets from acall of duty game. I assume they changed the guns so it was allowed back on the steam store.

It's pretty much just a MMO dino shooting game. There is not a lot to do at the moment. Ever heard of ORION: dino beat down /dino hore ( now ORION: prelude. They kept re-releasing the game under different title presumably to reset the awful reviews that it has) it's pretty much that game but worse in my opinion. It's still pretty fun though considering how utterly cheap both of the games are. You can get both for only $1 total at the moment.

Activision said they stole resources from them so there was a DMCA claim.

This is a pretty cool top-down shooter about dinosaurs and shit. They've added a first person mode (or third I don't remember) per popular demand. One of those games that's boring alone, but cool with friends.
