Yesterday we received a claim case where Nintendo would have begun to demand content removal related to their IPs in Garry’s Mod, a sandbox that has been around for almost two decades and has been known for its mods. After some indications that Nintendo might not be responsible for the claims, Now the latest reports suggest that yes.
The official statement is that of Garry Newmancreator of Garry’s Mod, who have shared that they are investigating the matter and taking action seriously, given the delicate balance between Nintendo content on Steam and the misuse of rights claims. In the tweet below indicates that its investigation indicates that Nintendo is responsible of the claims and affirms that the process will follow:
I have been assured that the takedowns have been verified by Nintendo as legit, so this will now continue as planned. Sorry. ️
