Wizards of the Coast scores PR masterstroke: Bullies BG3 Stardew mod that had Swen Vincke's personal approval off the internet with a DMCA
People like it when powerful companies send the lawyers after passionate fans, right?
A Nexus Mods spokesperson tells PC Gamer that WotC has made a DMCA takedown of Baldur's Village and, indeed, a peek at its page on the site just says it's been "under moderation review" since March 29.
"This is an incredibly creative cross-over to StarDew Valley that the community loves," says Nexus Mods, and Swen's endorsement "was nothing less than we would expect from the Larian CEO, who has been such a refreshing and visionary leader." Alas, that doesn't seem to have mattered much to WotC, but Nexus is staying optimistic: "Hopefully, this is an oversight from WotC, who often use external agencies to hunt down violating content, and they will revert their decision. Fingers crossed for Baldur's Village."
