In your example where literally every detail has been changed, including the type of product being produced, that makes sense.
The video says, “Portal Revolution Official Trailer.” What that says to me is “This is the official trailer” presumably released by the creator of Portal Revolution (which is a community mod).
Even in the worst possible way I can try to interpret that, calling it “manipulative” seems like a huge stretch.
If Valve somehow thinks it’s the same thing as your Pokemon example, I’m sure we’ll see some action taken.

Not a serious rebuttal. But yes, MS has found a way for Windows to be vulnerable to attacks using fonts.
My father, a boomer technophobe, could easily see every decision he’s made has been foolish and stupid.
I am NOT in the “Musk is a supergenius” camp, but I’m incapable of believing he could be stupid enough to make every single one of these disastrous decisions by accident. That seems very clear to me even if I can’t sus out the motive.
While I share your disgruntlement, this is both cheap and easy to use. Should you have to use it? No. Would needing it stop me from getting a phone I otherwise wanted? Zero chance.
I do see your point, but it’s out there now. How many thousands of people just grabbed it, or will, because of the article?
Just like PGP, decss, and countless other things, it will be kicking around at the usual places for anyone who wants it for long time, probably well past the point where anyone cares anymore.
