Nintendo forces to remove years of content from Garry's Mod

For those who don't have it on their radar, for quite a few years there has been a title called Garry's Modwhich was based on Half-Life 2the same in which users can create their own experiences, and just from that there are content creators who have made successful channels like SMG4. And something that this mod has inside, those are contents of Nintendowith character models used to tell different stories, and obviously the company knows about this, which is why they are demanding that they remove all of that.

The creators of this mod have talked about this request from the big N, and that has made them ask the community for help, as they will be getting to work to remove everything related to Mario and other characters, because if they did not do so they would find themselves in court for a possible copyright claim. Users have been uploading assets and models for just over 20 years, but it has been said that they have every right to ask for them to be removed, so the process will be long to complete.

Here is the message they put in Steam:

Some of you may have noticed that certain Nintendo-related workshop items have recently been removed. This is not a mistake, the takedowns came from Nintendo.

Honestly, this is pretty fair. This is Nintendo content and what they allow and don't allow is up to them. They don't want you to play with that stuff in Garry's Mod; That's your decision, we have to respect it and eliminate everything we can.

This is a continuous process, since we have 20 years of loads to carry out. If you want to help us by deleting your Nintendo related uploads and never uploading them again, that would help us a lot.

In fact, as already said, they are looking for help so that there is nothing left of Nintendo In the content library, in fact there have been 5,624 results in 188 pages, so it will not be the easiest task, but in the end it must be done to avoid problems with the company that is already a meme for launching lawsuits. Without a doubt, people will miss using things from such emblematic sagas, especially for so many years of being stored.

Author's note: I already said that I had seen these mods somewhere, and I didn't know that creators like SMG4 used it for their videos. Fortunately this person already has his own creations, so if they remove the Nintendo thing there isn't much of a problem with that.
