Wizards of the Coast says it didn't mean to send a DMCA takedown notice to the Baldur's Gate 3 Stardew mod: 'We are in the process of fixing that now'

The mod has Swen Vincke's personal approval, and the legal threat didn't go over well with fans—now WotC says it was "issued mistakenly."

    The Baldur’s Village DMCA takedown was issued mistakenly—we are sorry about that. We are in the process of fixing that now so fans and the Stardew community can continue to enjoy this great mod!

    I have a hard time believing that, but at least they’re backing off.

      Wotc used to be a good company. Now they’re just hasbros golden goose and they’re squeezing as many eggs out as they can.

    Whether WotC did this intentionally or not, Baldur’s Village has too dedicated a following—and nuking it is so bad a look—that I don’t think any company would willingly endure the PR fallout that comes from destroying it.

    Isn’t this the company that sent the Pinkertons after someone and tried to retroactively collect loyalties on everyone supporting their content? I don’t think they’ll let something as simple as PR get in the way of neverending profit.
