Nintendo issues major DMCA to Garry’s Mod—but it looks fake

The developers of Garry’s Mod made an official announcement stating Nintendo issued a DMCA takedown notice for workshop items using the company’s IP, confirming that most if not all of it would be taken down. Less than a day later, however, it looks like the takedown was fake. 

On April 24, Facepunch Studios posted an update to the official Garry’s Mod Steam page noting the team was “working on removing all Nintendo related stuff from Steam Workshop” for the game. With roughly 20 years of community uploads to sort through, the devs asked the community to help them by deleting their published Nintendo content and “never uploading them again.”
