The 2021 document from epic had a long tooth to fuck gmod over then.
Considering the current state of Google, I don't think you need to ask.
It's accuracy is not being that great I'd say.
The Man Who Killed Google Search
Why in the fuck would google hire this fucking clown after seeing what he did to yahoo?

Without having read that, I blame that everyone learns and develops towards Search Engine Optomization. Everyone's got an SEO engineer. Website builders desides for SEO
The thrust of the thing is basically Google haven't prioritized accuracy in forever so their results are basically shit compared to everyone else now.
Basically the Ad business part of the company took over and it's making everyone's lives miserable.
Just so we're clear, considering the history of Nintendo and Google and the partnerships they usually have, you will probably see Sony disappear from searches before Nintendo...unless they're so bad at their core business that they can't even do their job at all.
Fuck right off nintendo
edit: but maybe not this time¿
edit2: and the plot thickens... thanks Nintendo ;)

What family is getting their little kids a laptop, Steam and GMod, over just getting them a Switch?
If anything most kids first interactions with Nintendo properties are at the toy aisle in Walmart.
The quiote from Wario64's tweet, while oddly written, will result in the same outcome either way, at least in the short-term.
That was my point on the first page.
Has anyone confirmed if these DMCAs are from Nintendo themselves or from that copyright troll that appears to have been doing this for months?
But they don't need to feel at all justified to do it, they just do.
lol people who pirate games don't care at all about justification.
Maybe we should wait for confirmation of this being a DCMA troll or actually Nintendo before users start outraging at Nintendo over something we don't have 100% certainty on
This might sound a little silly, but Gmod is very popular with preteens and little kids, but more importantly there is a ton of content created using it that is intended for kids focused YouTube channels. A lot of Mario Gmod stuff pops up on YouTube and is watched by kids. For toddlers and up, who are all plugged into tablets and smartphones in far greater numbers than the current Switch demographics, it's a lot of exposure for them.
I know people joke about the Samus/Fortnite deal, but this Gmod thing is actually a bit different imo.
Yeah sure it's justified to steal because you can't play with some mods. The fact is pirates are cheap entitled losers who want things for free and that's the only reason.
I don't really understand this. Why would Nintendo file a takedown notice with the people who made Garry's Mod because of third-party content hosted in Steam Workshop? Shouldn't those takedowns be going to, you know, the people who made the actual content? Or Valve, as the company providing the Steam Workshop platform?
I ask because it's kind of weird for this message to apparently be coming from the people who made Garry's Mod and to imply that you'd be doing them a solid for taking down infringing content you added. Like, why? How does this affect Garry's Mod specifically?

I mean you tend to deliver the takedown notice to all involved parties aside from individual consumers. you don't target the individuals as that's a game of whack-a-mole. There's far too many people making the content and the barrier to reentry is pretty small.
Anyhow, Garry's Mod is owned by Valve. Facepunch is a subsidiary of Valve.
If I remember correctly, it's the last act of infringement when it comes to statute of limitations and not the first.
The more Nintendo attacks their fans, who are just celebrating Nintendo IP through mods, fan games or legal emulation, the more I lose interest in playing their games. Not because of their quality or distribution, but the way they view fan content as damaging to their brand instead of a sign that their creations have touched so many people in a positive manor, and as harmless enjoyment of things that make them happy. They may have the rights to do these things, but having power doesn't implicitly provide morality in its use. Their behavior in this regard is just overall very upsetting.
Eh Nintendo is right to protect their IPs and assets, especially if they are being used in unauthorized ways. That said, Nintendo could redirect that kind of creative fandom and highlight similar (clean) fan created works by offering a modern Mario Paint style title for people to have a creative playground with pictures and short videos. That would be a win win.
I cannot imagine garrys mod being a legitimate threat to their business in any way. if theres any truth to this it's an insane overreach
There is no justification for that. Period.
People who are doing that, and are justifying it because Nintendo is taking down emulators and stuff, are just assholes themselves imo.
I don't think that was ever a problem for people pirating Nintendo games. Or just people pirating games period.
Facepunch is not a subsidiary of Valve, it is an independent company. I don't believe Garry's Mod is owned by Valve, i believe they just published it on Steam.
some people dont know, but the garry's mod devs also made Rust
fun fact
Why hasn't the OP been updated with the possibility that this might be that copyright troll(people from Twitter, Famiboards, and Reddit said his name is Aaron) due to a bunch of fake DMCAs Facepunch have been receiving for months, with the recent one being two days ago?
Eh, I'd say there's some justification, but "they removed stuff from Gmod" certainly isn't among those
