In a twist the cherished community that revolves around Garrys Mod has been hit with an unexpected request from Nintendo. Despite enjoying two decades of collaborative creativity the renowned gaming company has insisted on the removal of any workshop items featuring their copyrighted franchises. Facepunch Studios, the creators of Garry’s Mod have reluctantly announced their compliance with this directive.
With an archive spanning over 20 years of user generated content to review the task at hand is truly monumental. Garrys Mod is famed for its workshop platform that allows for limitless possibilities through experimentation. However modders now face the challenge of selecting and managing their creations to avoid repercussions from the takedown notice. Facepunch has reached out to the community for support and understanding, in identifying and addressing any infringing uploads.
