A fan made mod.

Not to take anything away from them but other than not being on an official YouTube channel I did think this was a brand new game given it says 'official'. A bit deceiving.

Thanks for the heads up.

@nanoUFO@sh.itjust.works please remove the word 'official' from the title. Even though the video uses it, that use is wrong.

What about this is 'official' in any way? It makes me not want to play the mod for their manipulative use of the word in their advertising.

Edit: thinking back on it, I doubt there was any intention of manipulation. Most likely just ignorance on the implications of using the word.

Edit 2: The developer changed the video and removed the word 'official' from the title. The video also includes the text 'Portal: Revolution is an unofficial, fan-made modification for Portal 2 and is not with or endorsed by Valve Software.'

Implying being creator of a popular mod doesn't open a lot of doors.
