That's a shame. I use the cuda cores on my Nvidia card often and would have liked to see what an open source version on my Radeon was like. I came across a pretty interesting project the other day called Radicle that essential treats a github repository like a torrent.

Now that code will never see the light of day.
Is there no mirror of what was released?

The author was asked to take down any work done as contract by AMD, people might have forked and cloned it but it just shows how much hostile a company can become for no reason
-
The Nvidia game works is the portion that may never see the light of day since he hasn't released it before the takedown. At least that's how I'm reading it

It would be great if Valve funded this to bring gameworks back as a planned feature. It would make the Steam Deck the only handheld to support gameworks, as the competition is all using Windows + AMD GPUs as far as I know.

Damn it AMD. An email contract "isn't legally binding"? Glad to hear the Dev will redo the project from an older codebase though.
It's not legally binding when the person at AMD didn't have the authority to do so. That may be the case or AMD may be making BS up. I don't think we'll ever know for certain.
This is not how the law works in the US. It's very dependent on extenuating circumstances.
