Thread: Garry's Mod is removing 20-years worth of Nintendo related workshop items
Welcome to the all digital future. Anything made easily accessible and centralised for convenience is going to be heavily regulated by IP holders. Anything that can be monetised will be. Convenience and value will decrease over time as prices rise.

Eventually we're probably going to end up with the old Wild West days of the internet returning for anything not within a tightly controlled walled garden.
 
Someone is saying this is fake, or not Nintendo.


Not sure if true though

Sadly, Nintendo is taking advantage of MS and Sony being shitty by being extra shitty when no one will notice due to how shitty the industry is right now.

Shit

I don't know what's in the OP twitter post if it still entertains the idea that it's a troll and not Nintendo, the thread you linked ends with an EDIT reporting what's been posted yesterday, a statement from Facepunch themselves.


I don't think this leaves much room for conspiracy theories.

I know what you mean but I don't think it applies here, GMod has mods sourced from pretty much every popular game in existence for two decades, this is the first high profile DMCA they received as far as I remember. This is more plain Nintendo ninjas doing their work, the work they've been doing even before the digital future.
 
There should honestly be a civil penalty for fraudulently submitting DMCA takedowns since it basically robs the public. Sue these fraudsters into oblivion. Similarly, IP holders who submit wrongful DMCA takedowns should eat a huge fine.

The whole backwards ass law that is the DMCA needs to be re-evaluated, not just give a couple slaps on the wrist.
 
When I was killed by someone with a Mario skin, I thought "How could Nintendo do this?" and vowed to never buy a Nintendo product again. I'm glad their brand is now protected.

Imagine getting tea bagged by Princess Peach. It nearly trans'd me I was in such disbelief and questioning my own masculinity.
