The Baldur's Village mod, featuring characters from Baldur's Gate 3 within Stardew Valley, faced a DMCA takedown from Wizards of the Coast in a misunderstanding that generated backlash. Larian’s CEO Swen Vincke voiced support for the mod creators. Wizards of the Coast later clarified the takedown was a mistake, expressing regret and reinstating the mod on Nexus Mods. This swift resolution was praised by Vincke, showcasing a positive outcome for fans and modders alike, overall highlighting tension between IP protection and community-driven content.
Protecting your IP can be tricky but I do hope this gets settled. There are good ways of dealing with this.
The Baldur's Village DMCA takedown was issued mistakenly - we are sorry about that. We are in the process of fixing that now.
