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

We need to replace all of the Nintendo assets with meme versions similar to Sanic. This way, Nintendo can't force them down and we get to make fun of them.
I say we make Plumber Guy and Princess Bleach of the Toilet Kingdom.
... Context?
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.
They will eventually. It is in AAA's best interest to kill modding and theres nothing we can do about it.
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.
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
Thank you!
Nintendo content removal.
That didn't help at all.
Yep. Never buying another Nintendo product again.
Piracy doesn't hurt Nintendo, but I sure wish it did.
It's amazing how something I so closely associated with joy during my childhood has turned into a source of constant vehement hatred.
Fuck Nintendo.
That's capitalism for you!
Garry Newman is a cool name. Close to being the same as the New Wave musician.
Apropos of nothing, Gary Numan is actually older than Gary Oldman which makes their names somewhat misleading.
Maybe, but Gary Oldman can play anyone between the ages of 18 and 99, and have people not recognize him.
I'm still amazed he was the antagonist in 5th element, when comparing all the serious roles he does
Nintendo is a fucking joke.
Also, I am shocked to hear people still play Garry‘s Mod after almost 20 years.
At least this shit reminded me to turn off the annual auto renewal for my online family membership.
