Sierra Oscar writes, "In a recent interview with CVG.com, Robin Walker from Valve revealed plans to introduce matchmaking functionality into Counter Strike: Source, Team Fortress 2 & Left 4 Dead. Matchmaking is currently being implemented into Left 4 Dead which is most likely going to be the first game to receive matchmaking capabilities when it is released later this year.
Matchmaking is being offered as a game service for those developling under Steam Works, so expect to see the system introduced down the line to many of the Third Party games being developed with steam in mind."

Filing a false DMCA claim costs nothing, requires no proof, and can destroy an indie game's launch in minutes. Fighting back can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take weeks (if you can afford it at all).
Copyright is copyright. DMCA is a good thing that protects creators IP., revenue and usage. and you can absolutely appeal a wrongful DMCA takedown. It’s happened to me. Was easily resolved.
it's a good thing, but it's also long been reported, across a variety of industries and websites, that currently the system is ripe for and full of abuses. From fair use strikes, to matters like the one reported in this article. It's clear the law needs some tooth to punish bad actors and that parameters need to be set in how reports are filed; ie human review of said content and not some AI bot false flagging stuff. As is the system is far to easily abused by those who have motive to suppress and flag content they have no business or right to.
No system will ever be perfect, but there needs to be a review, unless it blatant.
Until there's genuine consequences for this type of abuse, it'll keep happening across all media. DMCA is in principle a good thing, but it needs an overhaul.

This will be a nice addition for the upcoming games.
Snap! This is what Games for Windows should be like.
