As you have guessed by the title of the video, many Nintendo-related add-ons have been taken down by a malicious troll and their purpose is to ruin every Gmodders' day.

You may have noticed that something is rotten in Denmark. I am talking about certain Garry's Mod workshop addons that me and @MisterPrawn uploaded a while back. It has come to our attention that they had been struck down due to an unknown assailant who does not want Nintendo-related add-ons to be there. It is not limited to Nintendo, but they also got Steam to pull some non-Nintendo-related add-ons like Pac-Man and M&Ms out of the workshop.

And it is not just me and Mister Prawn that were affected by all this, but this also includes the following were hit by an unknown copyright troll:

- Crispy Toast
- Mister Prawn
- RandomTBush
- ApocHedgie
- Brewster T. Koopa
- RatchetMario
- LucianTheBlaziken
- LeftyGreenMario
- BabyLuigionFire
- Sinful Mario
- Pika-Robo
- JCThorton

But let's hold on for a moment. Before you make assumptions, Nintendo had nothing to do with this as they are somewhat fine with their models being ported to the source engine. But what we do know is that somebody is taking down Nintendo-related add-ons due to irrational reasons. We do not know for sure, to be honest... Perhaps that person has a strong dislike towards Nintendo? Maybe that person wants to take down add-ons to make people angry? Or perhaps somebody is pretending to be associated with Nintendo? Maybe it has something to do with the whole Palworld vs. Pokemon drama? Regardless, they are doing this just to spite Garry's Mod animators and Source FIlmmakers and their love for Nintendo.

As more details keep popping up, we might be getting close to whoever is responsible for sending these takedowns just to spite many Gmodders and Nintendo fans alike. And we all demand to ask that troll a simple question: "Why did you do this?"

We do have an alternative for add-ons. Sadly, garrysmod.org was shut down last year and I was not aware of that until recently. But DeviantArt, from what I heard, seemed to be a viable option as they let you upload zip files there as long as you have the preview image there. But I would not hold my breath just yet.

Do we have plans to re-upload the add-ons to Garry's Mod Workshop after what the troll had done? I do not know, but when this is over, we can get back to making content with the add-ons we use.

Again, this video is used as a public service to spread awareness of what is going on.
