submitted 7 months ago by Alaskaball@hexbear.net to c/games@hexbear.net

Nintendo issues takedowns against 20 years of Garry's Mod content, devs ask for your help "by deleting your Nintendo-related uploads and never uploading them again"

This is like getting mad at people for making fanart.

Nobody makes money from this. It's nerds making an interactive equivalent of fanart because they love your work.

God fucking damn it.

I'm going to pirate even more to spite these motherfuckers.

Love developers and artists that make these games, hate the companies that employ them

Nintendo seems to want to make sure that nobody can make a funny meme with their characters ever again, huh?

[-] jaykay@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 months ago

Imagine if websites start deleting every meme having anything to do with Nintendo lmao

NINTENDO'S LAWYERS DESERVE BAD THINGS

[-] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

I mean they're just doing what nintendo tells them to. I place most of the blame on Nintendo (leadership) itself.

[-] invo_rt@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

I need someone to sue them to occupy their make-work lawyer team.

I don't know how G-Mod works, but is there like some central repository of maps and characters, or can anyone just download these from wherever and add them to the game?

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

The Steam Workshop is the easiest way to do it and that's the site they targeted - but it's not the only one, Nexus has a GMod page, so does gamebanana, gmodstore, mod db... it would be a lot of work to keep all Nintendo IP off of every single mod platform.

Gamebanana in particular stands out because they still host a lot of mods for Switch games, so they're thumbing their nose at Nintendo already.

without wanting to sound like a nintendo apologist here (steal their games as much as you can, i certainly do): i don't really give a shit. not everything needs to be turned into popcultural slurry all the time. that's how you get fortnite.

just make something original if you want to make something, it's not that fucking hard

[-] BakedBeanEnjoyer@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago

A game built around giving players absolute power to mod anything they want is going to by definition contain a pop cultural slurry.

Fortnite isn't even close to Gmod. Gmod's assets are built and maintained by the community, not a fucking multi-national corporation trying to such as much money from children as possible.
