Two years ago, YouTuber PointCrow put up $10,000 of his own money as a reward for anyone that can create a multiplayer mod for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Around two years later (give or take), the unlikely has finally happened as PointCrow released the multiplayer mod by AlexMangue and Sweet for the rest of the world to enjoy.
Unfortunately, what should've been a joyous moment turned sour rather quickly.
Now that fans have had a chance to experiment with the Breath of the Wild multiplayer mod, Nintendo has DMCA'd all the videos featuring it.
PointCrow shared what happened on Twitter where he posted screenshots of how Nintendo has taken down mod-related videos on his YouTube channel due to copyright claims.
Most companies rarely bother penalizing content creators for creating and sharing content based on their projects online. It's not unusual for companies to use such images to promote their games and to touch base with their community. One of the few companies that are very stingy about fan-created projects and mods is Nintendo.
