Nintendo Targets Garry’s Mod Workshop Items in IP Crackdown

Nintendo has recently initiated a series of takedowns on Garry’s Mod user uploads, prompting the developers to address the situation and acknowledge the removal of certain Nintendo-related workshop items. Nintendo has a long-standing reputation for fiercely protecting its intellectual property, with its legal team actively pursuing legal action against projects like emulator images, fan-made mods, and emulation projects. The extent of Nintendo-related content in Garry’s Mod is vast, with a cursory search for ‘Mario’ on the Steam Workshop yielding over 5,000 results. The takedowns have raised concerns about the potential impact on popular games and creations within Garry’s Mod, including one of the most popular maps in the Trouble in Terrorist Town game mode based on Kakariko Village from The Legend of Zelda.
