In a surprising move, Games Workshop has reportedly issued takedown requests for popular Steam mods that recreate its Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game within the Tabletop Simulator platform. The action, while not officially confirmed by Games Workshop, has been alleged by one of the chief creators of these mods. This comes just weeks after the release of Warhammer 40,000's 11th Edition, a significant event for the company. Mods based on this latest edition, such as the Hutber Map and ForceOrg, have been removed from the Steam Workshop. The TS Warhammer community is now bracing for what seems to be another intellectual property clampdown by Games Workshop. With Games Workshop known for its strict protection of its IP rights, this move raises questions about the future of these modding communities and their impact on fans who enjoy playing Warhammer 40,000 digitally due to geographical or personal reasons. The community is advised to hide, delist, and backup their works until the situation becomes clearer. This isn't the first time this has happened; the TS Warhammer modding community has weathered similar storms in the past, but the long-term effects of this latest action remain uncertain.
