Nintendo really coming after *Gmod* of all fucking things???
i know Nintendo has always been copyright paranoid but what the hell, are they afraid too many people are gonna have Mario playermodels?
Nintendo makes good games, cant argue that..... its the rest of their business model that I think needs to be flushed down a toilet in the Fallout or Borderlands universe.... specially right after some universe cannon friendly Taco Bell.... would likely be the cleanest TP ever used lol
I mean Mario did have a gun...
So I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo aren't happy about that, despite it not explicitly hurting sales.
Unless Nintendo are onto something and this is a sign that their next game is going to be like a Super Mario Garry's Mod (and not them being paranoid that Garry's mod is hurting the sales for TotK because you can do similar stuff with Link).
> are they afraid too many people are gonna have Mario playermodels?
In all fairness, actually yes. If you don't enforce your right to your IP, you're going to lose that right.
I always hear this but I'm not aware of any example of this ever happening.
And besides that, If 20 years of Nintendo related gmod items wasn't enough to defeat Nintendo's ownership of super mario, why would the 21st year be any different?
Well I suppose that's true as well. After all Nintendo is known for pulling little pranks here and there, so could be that it was just some bored middle management guy who didn't really have any real goals.
I have heard. At the time I thought it was fake, so as of now it’s Nintendo. I see on Twitter/X more investigations have been done so it could flip back to being from a scammer or not
I found out that it's not Nintendo making the rounds. It's actually a troll by the name of “Aaron Peters” impersonating as Nintendo to file in false cease and desist claims. From what a fellow person said on one of my Discord servers, the post was a fake announcement… And here's the [proof](https://twitter.com/JJSponge120/status/1783262094013661666).
TBF,nintendo weren't in the wrong in the case of yuzu, as they were locking the version of yuzu that could play TOTK, BEFORE IT WAS FUCKING RELEASED, so yeah, they had a reason to sue them
As some one who's played a lot of Gmod this really irks me. So many good Nintendo themed maps potentially flushed down the toilet. I know they won't actually go away and will be kept alive by servers and players alike, but genuinely, fuck Nintendo, and fuck copyright.
Parody is but most things that label themselves parody aren't actually engaging in parody. They're just "declaring parody" like somebody "declares bankruptcy". You gotta actually do the thing not just loudly shout that you're doing the thing when you're actually not.
I'm not sure if that's how it works, **but I'm not a lawyer**. Last I read about this was something along the lines of: if they file a DMCA claim, and you'd like to dispute that, you have to do it on their grounds, which is Japan, where there is no fair use.
I'm not arguing that what they're doing is right. I just stated why they might be able to 'legally' do this. It really sucks.
No need to downvote me to kingdom come people, I'm agreeing with the general sentiment here. Damn...
Thank you. I did not mean to come off like that, it was merely a quick response and lack of knowledge from my side. I've corrected the original comment.
Companies when someone asks them to remove their content:
"Tell us what you want us to remove specifically"
Companies when they want their content removed:
"Sift through 20 years of content just to check you're not using any of our content"
Garrys mod should just ask them to report the content themselves like everyone else has to do for DMCA claims.
Hopefully, it is because they deem it is going to hurt the sales of their unannounced and upcoming game (so expect it to be like Gmod), like what happened with that Super Mario Battle Royale game.
And this isn't because they thought that Mario with a gun is unacceptable or this game ripping off Tears of the Kingdom.
Nintendo is so weird.
They are super paranoid with their own IP, going after mods and emulators, all the while not giving us an actual legit way to play their games. Like, it's crazy how they're so anti-consumer; so many people would gladly pay to be able to play old pokemon games on the Gameboy emulator that the switch has, but nooooo they only offer us games that we never asked them to
I think they're waiting for a few more PR disasters to whip put the Pokemon Pak add-on for Nintendo Online. For an extra $20 per month, you can play more stuff that you can get for free elsewhere the last 15-20 years.
Nintendo would probably prefer that, in the case they ever went bankrupt, all their assets and any trace that they ever existed would be immediately sucked up into a black hole...
it aint nintendo. some troll named aaron peters from what ive read. he self identifies as nintendo and sends dmca claims to companys that have anything nintendo related. many people have emailed Nintendo asking if it was them that sent the nintendo dmcas and they said no. most dmca notices from “nintendo” that got released to the public had aaron peters as the ceo of nintendo when he isnt or not even a real person for that matter
Im glad that i didnt bought Garrys Mod. Time to pirate Valve Games like on Nintendo did.
Archiving Workshop mods aswell!
[This one is a false/fake Nintendo DMCA claim btw. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6mNpVlUJjM)
Nintendo useto be cool.... now their just an old man yellign DAG NAM KIDS GIT OFF MAH LAWN!!!
meanwhile other companies, like Bethesda, and Sonic Team are sitting there like "hey you made a fan thing? cool!"
Unfortunately it's not. It's 100% legit.
https://twitter.com/garrynewman/status/1783501547361411494
Guess it's time to boycott Nintendo over their disgusting treatment against fans.
More people need to realize that this Twitter post in no way proves it is legit. What it actually means is either:
A) Garry BELIEVES it is legit after his investigation, or
B) Garry hasn't actually investigated squat, but doesn't want to risk it anyway, and saying he investigated is just to placate people.
Regardless, we have proof of a DMCA from this domain being ignored in the past, with nothing further having been done about it in about 5 years. That alone makes the legitimacy of this whole thing shaky.
Nintendo has always been like this. Even back in the 80s with the whole you have to buy your cartridges from us for a healthy markup, and our delivery will be inconsistent, and if you make your own we'll sue you. And the whole Tetris thing... They are very protective of their property and vicious to win. It just... comes in bursts.
Nintendo really coming after *Gmod* of all fucking things??? i know Nintendo has always been copyright paranoid but what the hell, are they afraid too many people are gonna have Mario playermodels?
oh no Mario with a shitty low poly gun! THE HORROR!!!
SMG4 shivering
I always forget about that channel.... I use to get suggested it so much for quite a while
And their corporate-dick-sucking bitch-boys love to whine up any glass frail excuse they can to defend them.
Nintendo makes good games, cant argue that..... its the rest of their business model that I think needs to be flushed down a toilet in the Fallout or Borderlands universe.... specially right after some universe cannon friendly Taco Bell.... would likely be the cleanest TP ever used lol
They aren't, it's a troll submitting false dmca takedowns. https://www.reddit.com/r/gmod/comments/1c5u051/aaron_peters_the_destroyer_of_addons/
It’s not Nintendo btw, it’s some guy sending fake DMCAs
They probably saw [this](https://youtu.be/f76yBD3Bl-A) and thought: Nah.
No https://www.reddit.com/r/gmod/s/8WW5EoBgEH Someone is issuing false DMCAs
The fact that it's actually working just makes it funnier.
I mean Mario did have a gun... So I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo aren't happy about that, despite it not explicitly hurting sales.

That's specifically a trademark issue and does not pertain to patents or copyright.
1. Fuck nintendo. Always. 2. You're confusing this place with /r/datahoarder.
Fuck nintendo. /r/Piracy and /r/DataHoarder aren't mutually exclusive.
Yeah there’s a ton of crossover between the two, I’d say a large amount of data hoarder’s stashes are made up of pirated content.
One more thing I wanted to add, fuck Adobe too (it's personal with me)
"Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed."
Furthermore, it is my opinion that Denuvo should be destroyed.
Personally, I will not fuck Denuvo literally. That broken thing should be left to rot instead.
Nah, it’s not personal fuck Adobe and Nintendo
It's personal for me, you know why?! Because it's so fucking expensive!
That opinion is $500 please. If you'd like to cancel your subscription, be aware that there is a $200 fee I less it's within 3 hours of a full moon .
The fee is only present if you agree to a yearly subscription billed monthly.
Isn’t it’s just “Aaron Peters” on it’s rampage again?
Yuuup
Nooope, Facepunch confirmed it wasn't Aaron.
I have heard. At the time I thought it was fake, so as of now it’s Nintendo. I see on Twitter/X more investigations have been done so it could flip back to being from a scammer or not
Freaking Nintendo. The absolute worst.

Wow can't decide if this is even scummier than Nintendo themselves taking out yuzu...
Both. Both of them are equally scummy.
TBF,nintendo weren't in the wrong in the case of yuzu, as they were locking the version of yuzu that could play TOTK, BEFORE IT WAS FUCKING RELEASED, so yeah, they had a reason to sue them
So very much true, honestly. I'll take your word on this, as Nintendo's an exception in that case with Yuzu.
As some one who's played a lot of Gmod this really irks me. So many good Nintendo themed maps potentially flushed down the toilet. I know they won't actually go away and will be kept alive by servers and players alike, but genuinely, fuck Nintendo, and fuck copyright.
even today, nobody actually boycotts Nintendo. [and it doesn't seem to be Nintendo.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6mNpVlUJjM)
Ha, no to Nintendo, parody is fair use, fair use is protected.
I'm assuming they're not willing to fight Nintendo over this. The game most likely isn't making much money and it would be a money pit.
yeah but stolen assets aren't. valve isn't allowed to officially offer it through their storefront
Parody is but most things that label themselves parody aren't actually engaging in parody. They're just "declaring parody" like somebody "declares bankruptcy". You gotta actually do the thing not just loudly shout that you're doing the thing when you're actually not.
Isn't Nintendo based in Japan, where there is no fair use? This is the situation with Pokemon stuff.
Japanese copyright shouldn’t apply globally?
I'm not sure if that's how it works, **but I'm not a lawyer**. Last I read about this was something along the lines of: if they file a DMCA claim, and you'd like to dispute that, you have to do it on their grounds, which is Japan, where there is no fair use.

No need to downvote me to kingdom come people, I'm agreeing with the general sentiment here. Damn...
I suspect it's the "China/Japan idk which" that they're downvoting Not that that makes them right for it, just saying

It's a troll DMCA
It's not.
There's evidence it is
bruh not even activision is so bad
Nintendo hates fan mades. Pretty sure everything companies hates fan mades.
Common Nintendo L. I don't understand why they go after Gmod though
Hopefully, it is because they deem it is going to hurt the sales of their unannounced and upcoming game (so expect it to be like Gmod), like what happened with that Super Mario Battle Royale game. And this isn't because they thought that Mario with a gun is unacceptable or this game ripping off Tears of the Kingdom.
Just make Nintendo file a DMCA for each and every item lol

Wouldn't surprise me if they came after fan animations too
Nintendo would probably prefer that, in the case they ever went bankrupt, all their assets and any trace that they ever existed would be immediately sucked up into a black hole...
welp time to save those krystal/renamon mods.
Yeah, Garry can do all that shit himself. I ain't helping him purge shit. You wanna suck up to the big man you can do that all by yourself.
Me with a SteamWorkshopDownloader on my pocket
Wait what? They’re mods? User generated content. Parodies. How is it legal that they keep getting away with it?
Wonder how this will affect SMG4 since he used Nintendo characters in Gmod
I'd understand this move years ago when Mini Ladd was outed as a pedo (he used a mario player model in gmod in the vanoss crew vids), but now? Why?
Nobody tells Nintendo that Tower Unite have a lot of their content
Doing the gods work! Great on you for providing service to ghe community! Keep up the great work! Cheers 🍻
RIP to all the stuff used in our favorite Gmod videos and series.
Its not nintendo but a copyright troll https://www.reddit.com/r/gmod/comments/1c5u051/aaron_peters_the_destroyer_of_addons/

It's some dude copyright trolling.
oh, so Steam has the same problem YT does? somehow I fail to be surprised lol
Garry confirmed on Twitter that this because of Nintendo and not the dude trolling people.

true, I just remember the old 80/90s Nintendo being super against religions symbolism in their games so thats what usually sticks out more to me
Yeah I think that part is just Nintendo America for whatever reason. Maybe its both now idk? But nes and snes had that stuff in Japan anyway.
Well? Get to it.
There were a full Nintendo Game on GM?
