MODERATORS
I'd love to find the original thread the article cites, but their link just leads back to the article.
i'd like to know which terraria mods.
edit: killer57 has found the effected mod in the thread below. (Stormdark UI)
I followed the source in the linked article to a Vice article, that then linked to the source, a Reddit post. Stormdark UI for Terraria looks to have been hit.
thank you! that's kinda crazy. i wonder what caused it to get flagged.
Same! I thought the Terraria devs were pretty positive toward the modding community.
I don't see any indication that it's the games' developers that are doing this.
Who else would go around filing DMCAs?
From the info I found, the consensus is it's a troll who found a way to abuse the Steam reporting. Apparently the list of games being hit by these takedowns is huge, like 25+ games.
Trolls
Copyright holders who believe their IP is being violated by a given mod?
People like Nintendo?
Then host them somewhere else. Steam is gatekeeping mods; you can't download them if you have the game from somewhere else, except with the cumbersome steamcmd cli tool made for servers.
