Holy shit, I can’t even imagine the amount of mods that will get erased. There were so many fan-mods, maps, minigames, models… Fucking Nintendo…

It sure will teach them never to be a nintendo fan again.
Yep. I haven’t bought a Nintendo product in a long time, and it’s purely because they’re horrible custodians of their own products and brands and seem to actively hate their fans
It’s a lot easier to be a Nintendo fan if you’re also a pirate!
Fr, Nintendo isn’t going to get any more money out of people not using Nintendo addons. Instead they basically lose free advertising and make people dislike them even more. Shooting themselves in the foot again.
every couple months there is a new burning of the library of alexandria
I get the sentiment here, but it is absolutely hilarious to compare gmod content to the library of alexandria.
Also wasn’t that library’s burning not as bad as everyone says? I thought we had copies of most of the stuff for some reason. Maybe I’m remembering wrong.
There was never really “a burning” that destroyed it in one go. Over many years, there were numerous factors that caused many of the works to be lost. Some were lost to smaller fires, some were stolen, some just disintegrated due to age. If no one bothered to copy them by hand to have more than one copy, that was that.
I can hear the klaxxon
The library shrank over a long period due to the change in patronage, from rulers friendly to academia to some that had other priorities. The writings were taken to other places that were more interested in them. There was indeed a fire at some point but it only burned part of it and anyway by that time the collection was a fraction of what it used to be.
All for the profits of a few people.
Apparently it’s not even Nintendo, but trolls. Just that this is such a Nintendo thing to do that GMod doesn’t want to even risk it
EDIT: So the domain is owned by MarkMonitor, a service that monitors for copyright infringement and sends DMCAs. Nintendo HAS used them before. So that clears up any confusion there
Where do you get that from?
They got it from a twitter post that never bothered looking up who owns the domain. The domain is owned by Nintendo of America Inc not some internet troll.

Ah, thanks for the correction

This IS an official nintendo domain.
I know, I just provided the link, thanks for the clarification though
I wonder if the “it’s just trolls, not Nintendo” misinformation is actually disinformation also coming from Nintendo…
The domain is owned by nintendo.

Gonna fully sweep the workshop based off a claim that ‘might’ be Nintendo but won’t take down servers glorifying one of the worst points in human history
History can’t sue you into oblivion for copyright infringement.
This wouldn’t even be GMod’s responsibility? Valve owns the steam workshop, so anything violating DMCA should go to steam, not GMod. It’s not like GMod themselves are hosting the content.
20 years they’ve had to DMCA this. They should lose the right to do so after that long.
Yeah, time to move away from the workshop.
Can we go back to svn links for mods?
I don’t think the Steam Workshop is the issue here. I’m glad it exists, and direct downloads or snv links are still a reasonable alternative for mods that can’t be hosted on the Workshop for whatever reason.
True the workshop is pretty dope.
Just centralizing all mods in one spot is a bit iffy for situations like this.
13 yo me had so much trouble with SVN. Thanks for the flashbacks.
Hope you eventually got the stargate mod working.
Is garrysmod.org still a thing?
Apparently not.
Good! Nintendo is a tiny indy company, and you shouldn’t be mad at them for this. How else will Miyamoto and Sakurai put food on the table? Think of poor Nintendo and all the billions of dollars these gMod creations cost them!
I’m not surprised. For anyone using someone else’s material without permission, it’s just a matter of time.
Yeah, leave nintendo alone! This cost them billions of dollars in financial loss! /s
People like you, I just can’t help but laugh.
