Garry Newman: I have been assured that the takedowns have been verified by Nintendo as legit, so this will now continue as planned. Sorry. (twitter.com)

... Context?

Gary's mod, having assets if Nintendo properties. Nintendo wants that removed. People are somehow shocked.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

The shock is, these are fanmade mods on the Steam Workshop, not asset theft. It'd be like Nintendo suing Bethesda over Relics of Hyrule.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Yeah, they could do that. Maybe they will. That's capitalism for you. It doesn't care about users, just the property.

[-] Kaldo@kbin.social -2 points 6 months ago

They will eventually. It is in AAA's best interest to kill modding and theres nothing we can do about it.

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

No it isnt and yes there is.

Some people said that the notices Garry's Mod received for takedown of Nintendo content weren't actually from Nintendo. They're saying that actually the takedowns are legit and so they'll be removing the Nintendo content.

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

The people that said it wasn't from nintendo never bothered checking who registered the domain. ICANN allows for searching for this information easily but it was even easier to just say "well it doesnt look legit to me" instead of actually checking. And yes that domain (mm-nintendo.com) is registered to Nintendo of America as you can verify here: https://lookup.icann.org/en

That didn't help at all.
