Garry himself got confirmation that it was actually Nintendo
Nintendo does takedown like this all the time. I haven't seen anybody actually point at evidence of fraudsters, and there is no reasonable benefit to doing this as a fraud. There is no avenue of profit.
At this point, I'll never buy anything from or for Nintendo again. Fuck this kind of shitty behavior

Also add a F to every character name like FLuigi, and Marfio or Bowfser
