A recent flurry of DMCA notices surrounding the popular Skibidi Toilet and the sandbox game Garry's Mod appears to have been resolved. Garry Newman, the game's developer, confirmed to IGN that the issue is settled, ending a brief but highly publicized dispute.
The Source of the DMCA Notice Remains Unclear
While the matter is concluded, the identity of the party who sent the DMCA remains undisclosed. Speculation points towards either DaFuqBoom or Invisible Narratives, the creators associated with the Skibidi Toilet franchise, though this remains unconfirmed.

Garry Newman, in a Discord server post, expressed his surprise at the notice, stating, "Can you believe the cheek?" The DMCA targeted user-created Garry's Mod content featuring Skibidi Toilet characters like Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man. The sender claimed these characters were copyrighted and that the unauthorized Garry's Mod games generated significant revenue.
The swift resolution suggests a possible misunderstanding or a negotiated agreement between the parties involved. Further details regarding the specifics of the resolution are yet to be released.
