The 'Steam Workshop Nintendo Add-ons Takedown' refers to the massive removal of Nintendo-related user-generated content from the Steam Workshop, most notably affecting the long-standing community of Garry's Mod. In April 2024, Facepunch Studios revealed that Nintendo had officially requested the removal of all their IP-related assets, ending nearly 20 years of fan-made Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon mods within the game. The internet responded with a wave of memes depicting Nintendo lawyers as ruthless ninjas or the Grim Reaper clearing out the workshop. These memes are used to highlight Nintendo's strict protection of their intellectual property and the bittersweet end of an era for sandbox gaming creativity.
