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.
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.
Copyright holders who believe their IP is being violated by a given mod?
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.
I'm confused by this article - Cities Skylines 2 doesn't use the Steam workshop, so how could dmca notices in steam affect it? The article title says CS but the body says CS2.
Did they mean Cities Skylines 1? Or did they mean dmca notices had been placed on Paradox Mods (which hosts CS2 mods)?
It feels like this is poor quality misreporting of the situation. On googling it seems to be Steam Workshop so probably Cities Skylines 1?
