In April 2024, Nintendo issued a takedown notice regarding its content being used in Garry's Mod, prompting Facepunch Studios to remove roughly 20 years worth of assets from the game's Steam Workshop and ask their community members to do the same in order to speed up the process. Although rumors circulated that it was actually an unrelated party issuing the takedowns due to past instances of such, the game's creator Garry Newman insisted that this was not the case, and that the takedowns were in fact from Nintendo themselves.
