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

        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.

      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.

    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.

    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

    Yeah, time to move away from the workshop.

    Can we go back to svn links for mods?

    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.
