I’ve gotten the impression that Valve is taking a purposefully lax stance on covers etc. of “Still Alive,” which are effectively viral advertising for their revenue-generating product. They have a pecuniary interest in looking the other way. That being said, I can understand companies wanting to avoid that sort of risk.
OTOH, I can imagine Blizzard having issues with “First of May” based on what some might read as the implication that you can do these sorts of things in-game, so they’re not completely avoiding risk.
