Super Gangsta Copyright Infringement - My first game has been removed.

Posted by Ant - 1 day ago


February 18th, 2025 marks an unfortunate day when I lost something near and dear to me. Super Gangsta Copyright Infringement has been removed to comply with a takedown request for copyright infringement sent in by the big red N, my first ever published game has been put to rest here on Newgrounds. Please join me in a moment of silence as I mourn the loss of my first game published to this account.


Moment of silence.


There are other ways to check out this game, though I don't know if I should speak its full name anymore here on NG, so please check out my itch.io for a chance to check it out before it inevitably gets removed from the internet forever.

Jokes aside, this game kickstarted my enjoyment in game creation and I really appreciate everyone who played the game at the time, as terrible as the game is, it's still my first game...it meant a lot more to me than you may think.


Money Man: Refunded wouldn't even exist if it weren't for that game. Also, I know, the game is still in development but expect it to release eventually, I can only do so much as a single developer especially since some bad stuff happened, and it all needs to be cleaned up and fixed because I think that it shouldn't have an official release date until I actually finish the game and I also believe that it shouldn't be released until I make sure it has as much quality as it can have.


Side tangent out of the way, thanks again for following me from the beginning if you've been here since my first game, and also thanks for popping in whenever at any point and playing my games at all. All the support I have gotten for my dumb games has meant so much to me, and I'm very happy to know that something I made all that time back got so many players it was noticed and removed for being canon.


Thanks for reading and have a nice day! :D

still shocking how absolutely petty they can be over copyright. One of these days I'll fart in a tone that vaguely sounds like a splatoon character and I'll get assassins outside my door to get my butthole shut and threaten me for copyright infringement.

@OhHeyJude you just mentioned the name of a Nintendo game. good luck in court

@stevetherapper i have a hacked nintendo dsi, if i lie and tell them i have already hacked the switch 2 theyll bend to my will

Im so sorry for that loss :'(

I understand you, i have to remove some things like eet pizza: pixel edition or some art.

But this, is a bad moment for you for a elimination of a game by mods.

Im so sorry :'(

how the fuck

no clue man

Nintendo really has become the "Disney" of video games, in that I absolutely ADORED Nintendo (and Disney) up until I was about 9, but nowadays as an adult, it's hard to see the magic anymore behind all the petty lawsuits and general "big business" vibe of modern Nintendo (and Disney).

Sorry to hear you got the dreaded "cease-and-desist" from Nintendo. So one of your very first attempts at game development was enough for Nintendo to send its ninjas after you, but all those Unreal Engine remakes of Super Mario World, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Donkey Kong Country that I keep getting recommended to me on YouTube are perfectly safe?

Yeah, I have no clue why they came after me.

On the bright side, since Nintendo took it down Super Gangsta is now canon to the Mario lore.

Jokes aside real sorry to hear that it was taken down.

yeah haha

this is the saddest news i have ever heard in the world :(

Dude I'm so sorry that happened, those guys need to stop breaking down small artists like that. They literally have enough money to solve all the worlds problems but instead they'd rather do this shit

i honestly find it really funny
i didnt put a whole lot of effort into the game but thx
