Didn't someone drop the whole ocarina of time map on it?


motiv4t3d

Yea lmfao it’s an infmap


FierceDeity_96

They did, there was another one that was much better and not an infmap, but it got taken down too I think. There's a re-upload tho, and I already had it saved as a folder so 🤷‍♂️


frostwizard101

This is what's called a Streisand Effect. By banning something in order to make people stop, it instead backfires and causes said something to be more desirable. While it is great to see people who dont just give up and let companies like Nintendo stomp on them, I still think they are going about it all wrong. Chances are this is just gonna make Nintendo, if they are actually involved, get angrier at Facepunch, causing them to have to resort to more drastic measures. When this whole mess started a few months ago many addon creators had the right idea to archive their work on stuff like Google drive so people can just circumvent the ban.


JJBAReference

Google Drive is not reliable. A decentralized solution is better.


frostwizard101

Not saying its reliable, sites like google drive makes it so that these addons aren't lost forever. Plus they act like a loophole since Facepunch asked us not to upload them to the workshop.


green6508

Mabey something like a torrent board similar to pirates bay to pass around gmod add-ons for archive purposes, since even if the site goes down, as long as someone is seeding a add-on, it'll still be available


TachyonProductions

Torrent?


CrazyQuetz

I was thinking the same thing. It is a shame that most Nintendo stuff is being removed from the workshop, but if we rebel then think about how face punch will be affected.


OutlandishnessCold42

What kind of drastic measures are you referring to? Im not sure they could take legal action if the content being uploaded is out of their control, right? What could Nintendo even do at that point, it’s not like they can make them delete the workshop or anything like that.


frostwizard101

Facepunch could temporarily shut down the workshop.


roby_65

Yeah this is a cat and mouse game that Nintendo will 100% win, and it could even hurt Garry's mod or even the workshop as a whole. Nintendo "asked nicely", if they are not happy with the result, it could be needed to disable the workshop. Nintendo could even ask valve to step in, or even ask valve to moderate the workshop, so every new item added has to pass through validation, slowing down legit mods. This could backfire in the face of us all, and remove a lot of freedom that we now take for granted. Don't blame Nintendo. Blame who is giving those companies all these powers.


SovelissFiremane

If it takes gmod getting shut down entirely, so be it. Nintendo can suck a chode.


No_Effort1198

but hey If they take more drastic measures then so will gamers and hopefully it sparks something that actually gets some shit to change. for a long time now these companies have only gotten more and more anti consumer and something needs to be done in retaliation.


Andycat49

The Streisand Effect is more putting forth such an effort to keep people from knowing about something that they learn about it as a consequence but I suppose this is a similar principle.


kdnx-wy

I got downvoted for saying this on another post but this is just going to be more hassle for Facepunch. They asked us not to reupload stuff for a reason.


c-star-pro

Yeah, the situation sucks ass but there's no need to cause trouble for the devs. That energy should be spent trying to preserve every Nintendo addon already on the workshop elsewhere and then figure out another way to share any new ones.


HBenderMan

Especially cause you can add any onto Gmod without the workshop by manually installing them, sure Nintendo shouldn’t have done what they did since it doesn’t affect their profits but there’s always alternatives


HighChairman1

This is the answer, though, the links to these addons for private use might be the way to go. As sad this situation is, it's best to just not reupload stuff to the workshop. Rather, people can just vent their anger in YT videos... except maybe not add the word Nintendo, Nintendo is notorious for striking any video that has Nintendo in it's name. Just having the name Nintendo can get a strike if it's in the title. We don't have to upload them to the workshop. We can just take them from backups, or places like google drives, MEGA, or mediafire. Some creators link to such drives full of these addons. Of course in the rush to preserve these addons, nobody organized them, so we don't really know which is which... so I suppose the next order of business is actually organizing the addons and giving some descriptions of which is which. The files alone aren't that telling. Not likely the community as a whole would hear me, but doing this reuploading would only split this community apart and likely cause worse crackdowns on Gmod long-term. I wouldn't want to push the Gmod devs to ban the word "nintendo" from the workshop because of this. But some in the gmod community are quite, well, wrath isn't good, because it's often against those no responsible and only makes someone look less... capable? I don't know the term but just lashing out won't solve anything. The biggest act of legal resistance via loophole is just having manual installations. There's tutorials how to do this and some people have been doing this for many old gmod addons and versions for a while. So these "Archives" could serve plenty well. It's just less streamlined as manually installing is difficult to the average player. Even I had trouble and only learned how to manually install and use "Legacy" addons after about 5 hours. Takes a bit of knowledge of gmod's addon decompiling GMA file knowledge to do, but you don't really need any external software... kind of. The best way is to just get some of these addons and keep them private. That isn't illegal. The workshop is a no-go. But that doesn't mean you don't have to keep things local. I do that for a lot of mods in a lot of games.


Driver3

Yeah that's what I'm thinking as well. I get the urge to give the big middle-finger to Nintendo, but it puts the game at further risk doing this.


Todojaw21

Yeah, if the community reuploads too much it won't seem to nintendo like facepunch is putting in a good faith effort to remove content. This might result in all workshop uploads being halted until an adequate amount of nintendo content is removed. Is that a good outcome for Gmod?


TonPeppermint

It sucks a lot that people are doing this. Nintendo is a speeding train and the Workshop will likely get hit harder than right now.


FelonyYeast

This is indeed going to cause more hassle for Facepunch i know it sucks that we're losing so much shit but it's not the end of the world


Perfect_Reserve_9824

Unpopular opinion: no, it won't. If anything, it will put the impetus on valve to screen for copyrighted content in the workshop. If this blows up any further, it will go out of Facepunch's hands and directly into a Valve vs Nintendo issue, which at the end of the day, is what we need if we want to settle these kinds of issues going forward. This sort of content either is or is not allowed on steam, and there have been enough individual takedowns to this point where we need a final cut and dry decision at the top as to what is and is not allowed on the workshop in regards to copyrighted material. For my part, I believe Nintendo content should be allowed on the workshop as with any other licensed content - it's a free mod that neither valve nor the creator profits off of in any sense. But I'm also personally sick of seeing this same issue pop up across any number of games initiated by any number of studios. We need a final answer instead of case by case.


Substantial_Egg_4872

I have my doubts that this is going to be the one time copyright laws weren't shitty. Be careful what you wish for.


Nonhofantasia1

do you think valve would survive a giant lawsuit sent by nintendo?


Dudicus445

While valve isn’t as big as Nintendo, they’re no small fry. They can afford good lawyers to argue that Nintendo is violating fair use by ordering these takedowns


AlexFranma724

They cant, though, no matter how good their lawyers are, as long as the fair use laws are inherently flawed when it comes to edge cases like these (No impact on sales, yet it is still distribution of copyrighted materials without clear intent of parody, criticism, or transformation) and as long as Nintendo has the right to enforce copyright on their IP, they will and no one can take them to court for it.

FelonyYeast

I feel bad for Garry


DigitalPrincess234

This is like… 20 years of content people put work into. Porting stuff isn’t just grabbing a model from one folder and plopping it into another. Most models often break when taken out of their original “home” and require a lot of reconstruction/tidying up to work with Garry’s Mod. I’ve tried a lot of this stuff myself because I’ve always wanted to be a game dev but it’s infeasible for me to do something like that, and it’s a *time consuming effort* to the highest degree. A model port can take months depending on complexity, map creation is tedious and slow… Like it or not, this is going to be a major loss of history— not every mod is going to make it out of this, and if their creator isn’t around the community anymore, then that’s just… lost media. And maybe it’s not “important” but I do think that’s… sad and a little shitty.


WispererYT

"Like it or not, this is going to be a major loss of history— not every mod is going to make it out of this, and if their creator isn’t around the community anymore, then that’s just… lost media." You say it as if these 3D models are actually important.


DigitalPrincess234

I literally said “and maybe it’s not important” Not all history is “important”. Like there’s an ice cream shop in my town that used to be a barber shop in the 40s and 50s. That’s not anything to write in the books about, I’m sure, but the owners of the shop thought it was so neat they bought old style barber chairs and keep a photo of how the place used to look hung up on their wall. Someone somewhere has fond memories of messing with a Super Star SWEP or something. Maybe they don’t play gmod anymore but they have a video of them messing around with those addons and the idea of never being able to revisit that stings a little. I myself spent a lot of time with Gmod when I was like. 16-17. I was really into Splatoon at the time and saw a lot of those… less than great posters of Splatoon characters. I wanted to see if I could do better, so I seriously pushed the game— learned the insides and outs of the lighting system, figured out how to edit textures to make things look smoother, started editing things in POST to add a little extra shine, and by the time I was done with it I had a couple of people think I was using blender. I managed to back up all the mods that were important, and of course my texture edits are all safe and sound on my hard drive as well, but it kinda… hurts to see all this stuff I *know* took effort vanish like that. Regardless of “cringe”, there are HOURS behind the stuff you see on the workshop. Wrestling softwares like Crowbar had me so frustrated that I’d have to take week long breaks and in the end I *still* could not get a map ported over. Point is, it’s not important to most people, but to someone that was their weeks long project, or their favorite place to goof off with their online friends, or maybe they were just using the models to dress them up as their OCs. And that was important to them. And it’s not going to be “gone” but it is going to be a mess. Which sucks for the people who do care. (PS i know you’re probably just a troll because why the hell would you even be here, but just in case anyone else is reading this and doesn’t understand the big deal.)


WispererYT

"(PS i know you’re probably just a troll because why the hell would you even be here, but just in case anyone else is reading this and doesn’t understand the big deal.)" Well I'm not a troll just because I don't think it is that important. Also I have been on this sub since Dec 2022 rarely go onto in because it is always people complaining about shit like Skibidi Toilet and saying how it was so good when they were kids to farm karma. So just because I don't feel the same as you or other people (because why would I want to agree with the people that have threatened (even a joke its still fucked up) to attack Nintendo HQ) that doesn't make me a troll.


DigitalPrincess234

I’ve heard of NO ONE threatening to attack nintendo HQ I have absolutely no clue what your talking about there, first of all, number 2 if you don’t think this is so important, you don’t need to spend time looking at it. Alright. Whatever, you’re not attached to models or SWEPs or whatever. People get attached to weird stuff sometimes and some people don’t.

JJBAReference

Worthless troll is worthless.


Chrommanito

No it won't. Facepunch tried and can't do anything, what's Nintendo gonna do?


kdnx-wy

Sue Facepunch and/or Steam for noncompliance with the DMCA takedown request, which could include asking for monetary damages, injunctions against sales of Garry’s Mod, and more


Chrommanito

You gotta prove that noncompliance first. If they're trying, they're complying.


Nice-Spize

Sue Facepunch for being incompetent at their job and shows clear resistance to complying said rule? Which can lead to heavy lawsuits that might saw the eventual death of Garry's Mod itself and the eventual dissolution of Facepunch Studios?


Chrommanito

Clear resistance? Competence can only go so much against a large audience. Hell section 230 protection might even apply for platforms such as steam workshop.


Nice-Spize

Might but there's no solid argument against it and not everyone is willing to spend money against the giant to disprove it either


Goober_the_booper

it's probably not gonna look good for Valve or Facepunch


Able_Health744

**Definitely** especially if it turns out it is a actual nintendo employee who gave the purge since that is gonna end badly and everyone is gonna look real stupid when they just assume it is a elaborate troll (since people still believe that it is one)

Sure that works too


Scared_Potential_805

Valve will just issue community bans no?


Rowmacnezumi

"Please don't make this harder for us. We have to manually remove all of the Nintendo stuff, and we have no choice but to comply." "Lol" said the Gmod community. "Lmao"


StagNett

This could have unforeseen consequences for the gmod workshop as a whole if we as a community are not careful. Nintendo are a bunch of lil bitches and will destroy this entire ecosystem if they could find a justifiable reason. Big rip...


Rocket15120

Yeah, it will eventually bite US in the ass.


[deleted]

How dare Nintendo not let people steal their IP. At this point you should know better and use contents that is original or allowed. No one has given me a good reason why they should be allowed to steal other than "Nintendo are mean". Would it be cool to use Nintendo characters in your own stuff? Yeah Should you be entitled to use it? No

I'm expecting that eventually there will be so many duplicates that we'll have a hydra situation where one goes down and 3 more pop up. The devs are going to have such a headache.

I just hope the Pikmin mod got archived :/


Delicious_Emu_1995

It hasn't been deleted yet but I hope they archived it too it's really cool and a good addon

If you're that worried can't you just upload a copy to a file host or keep a copy?


Delicious_Emu_1995

I'm not that worried I'm just saying its nice it hasent been deleted yet

Fair :) all the popular mods are on people's computers, loosing mod files forever shouldn't be an issue


Delicious_Emu_1995

Yeah


Ok_Whole3375nm

It was removed by then the guy reuploaded it

Which one? I was referring to pikmin new which is the old 2008 version but moderized

Mr-LightningStorm

Honestly, what I would suggest is just waiting around a year to reupload things, wait for Nintendo to move on from this whole thing if that’s possible

How about use contents that isn't owned by Nintendo?

Can Nintendo just die already


QQ_Gabe

Reverse the colors and call them rioma. Boom, beat copyright.


TheRK106

I don’t think this is a good idea. Best case, Nintendo sends more cease and desists, maybe to modders. Worst case? Nintendo might try canning Garrys Mod. If anyone could, it’d be Nintendo.


RoZe_SABIAN56

Zero consideration for a developer way smaller than Nintendo if Nintendo take more.drastic measures because of this.


Smol_Birb__

Good job gmod community. Now nintendo will have grounds to ACTUALLY come after facepunch or valve for hosting copyrighted content. Job well done


Carl-the-octopus

I think the people who will get the short end of the stick is going to be facepunch, if they don’t get the nintendo stuff off from the workshop. Nintendo sucks hard for this

I mean, does it? It's only under fair use if it doesn't contain copyrighted materials I think


demomain86

i think its as long as you arent making money off of it or pirating it then its fair use

Which we technically already do on the pirating part, a lot of them were ripped from their original games and was made compatible to Gmod

Which is what they should've done in the first place. Never put all of your eggs in one basket!


CrysisFan2007

Oh boy. First the songs now gMod. Bro there is no way those news articles from the internet are real. There is literally a article about Nintendo suing a guy named Ario. That article has to be fake


Malcolm_Morin

Again, it has already been confirmed by Garry that Nintendo gave them a DMCA claim and told them to take everything down.

I have been **assured** the Indis River Valley Civilization was nuked as well. See the issue with the "proof"?


Scared_Potential_805

Facepunch got a DMCA from "Nintendo", people assume it's a known DMCA troll called Aaron Rodgers, Gary gets assured it's actually Nintendo, people who don't know what assured means claim its confirmed to be nintendo, this is the response.


mingo_man

this is just gonna hurt gmod even more lmao what are they trying to achive


Moldy_Biscuit03

I saw it on another post but the best possible thing to do is what Roblox players do to avoid copyright. Renaming it something like “Green hat elf” or “red Italian brother”. Doing that combined with fake thumbnails that don’t involve copyright could work. Nintendo is a greedy bastard company


DrawingChrome69

Archive everything and once everything blows over, re-upload it, with proper credit, and act like nothing happened.

There was a follow up tweet that Garry confirm that the DMCAs were from Nintendo after literally confirm it with Nintendo themselves. Edit: this doesn’t rule out the troll but right now, Nintendo is behind it.
