Re: Nintendo Gmod Addons Taken Down...

As you have guessed by the title of the video, many Nintendo-related add-ons have been taken down by a malicious troll and their purpose is to ruin every Gmodders' day.

You may have noticed that something is rotten in Denmark. I am talking about certain Garry's Mod workshop addons that me and @MisterPrawn uploaded a while back. It has come to our attention that they had been struck down due to an unknown assailant who does not want Nintendo-related add-ons to be there. It is not limited to Nintendo, but they also got Steam to pull some non-Nintendo-related add-ons like Pac-Man and M&Ms out of the workshop.

And it is not just me and Mister Prawn that were affected by all this, but this also includes the following were hit by an unknown copyright troll:

- Crispy Toast
- Mister Prawn
- RandomTBush
- ApocHedgie
- Brewster T. Koopa
- RatchetMario
- LucianTheBlaziken
- LeftyGreenMario
- BabyLuigionFire
- Sinful Mario
- Pika-Robo
- JCThorton

But let's hold on for a moment. Before you make assumptions, Nintendo had nothing to do with this as they are somewhat fine with their models being ported to the source engine. But what we do know is that somebody is taking down Nintendo-related add-ons due to irrational reasons. We do not know for sure, to be honest... Perhaps that person has a strong dislike towards Nintendo? Maybe that person wants to take down add-ons to make people angry? Or perhaps somebody is pretending to be associated with Nintendo? Maybe it has something to do with the whole Palworld vs. Pokemon drama? Regardless, they are doing this just to spite Garry's Mod animators and Source FIlmmakers and their love for Nintendo.

As more details keep popping up, we might be getting close to whoever is responsible for sending these takedowns just to spite many Gmodders and Nintendo fans alike. And we all demand to ask that troll a simple question: "Why did you do this?"

Do we have plans to re-upload the add-ons to Garry's Mod Workshop after what the troll had done? I do not know, but when this is over, we can get back to making content with the add-ons we use.

Again, this video is used as a public service to spread awareness of what is going on.

I recommand you all to read the description first to avoid jumping into conclusions.

Thankfully this happened AFTER Castle Calamity: Art Chaos got finished.

[ORN_Cozz]

I agree, this is getting out of hand.

He isn't a Troll, he is a flipping Cyber Terrorist.

[davidholanda]

this situation is pretty similar to Kirby Reanimated collab being taken down
hope it gets resolved

[sebasllaura]

Let’s hope that troll gets taken down and Nintendo comes back to GMOD!

[alvaroperez]

Let’s hope that this isn’t a permanent thing…

[theiotahimselfidkwhy]

This entirely felt like a literal random shitpost deleted scene SMG4 Did and Deleted Randomly

[itsyaboiLegend]

The fact that it’s not normally Nintendo (read the description in the video) is just so random. I guess you could say, “Some men just want to watch the world burn.”

Smg4's Lawsuit Arc is becoming real, just like the Anime Prohibition Arc.

[Masonicon]

These trolls was the reason good fanworks got DMCA'd

[josephfrye]

i realized these trolls are not the official nintendo or sega and such etc and these trolls are not above the law. if mister prawn didn't knew yet.

[FanimationStudios-]

I hope you and the other Gmoders catch the punk who did this and fix this. I enjoyed seeing Mario and Co in your animations and would be rather upset if you couldn't do it again.

Lesson number 256: While the report tool is helpful, it is abused a lot!

[DrCoeloCephalo]

Appreciate the details in the description. Whomever is responsible must be soulless.

Hi I come from another modding community for a game named Fraymakers where we have also dealt with recent nintendo DMCAs (and from what it seems it happened aroundthe same time as the Garry mods ones), from what it seems they come from a fake Nintendo employee named Aaron Peters who has gotten non Nintendo stuff taken down like the Duoling owl, then 2 weeks later they have gotten more stuff taken down but got stopped 2 days after the devs contacted steam(?), there was a video recapping some of that happened made by someone called Into the Fray if you wanna go looking for that, but what it seems you guys are dealing with the same thing we dealt with

[GeneralHeavy]

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT TROLL THINKING?!

[MasonSoloMcFly]

I should also mention that I was also hit by this sort of thing. I uploaded a GMod port of Kat & Ana someone did for me back in November, and it was doing just fine up until last week when I was notified that it was removed and/or banned. I tried reaching out to Valve's DMCA department through email to hopefully get it resolved, but apparently, they're asking to "provide a license for use, " basically saying they can't reinstate the mod. I'm fairly certain that it's just a response from a bot, but it still kind of angers me

[reimufan]

Some people are just that f**king horrible huh?! Sorry to hear about the addons being taken down Crispy

[bantuatha]

the end for SMG4 is coming... I feel it

[Spongentic]

it’s not even gmod anymore without nintendo addons
