The full notice

Edit: looks like it's probably a false DMCA claim but not enough is known right not to be sure in any direction

I would love for Valve to chime in about this since DaFuqBoom is using THEIR IP for his commercial gains, which is 100% against the Steam Subscriber Agreement that Half-Life 2 assets fall under. They should say something soon given recent developments.

Really just shows how broken the DMCA is - it really just comes down to whether you can afford lawyers or not.

This is just trolls making it apparent how hard it is to protect the Skibidi intellectual property (never thought I'd have to write those words, and I hate everyone of you for it).

Like you either involve Valve and Garry's Mode copyright, or it is transformed to something else. Funnily enough, this is also the process mods go through to become fully fledged standalones.
