A popular content creator, ToastedShoes, claims that Warner Bros. has threatened to shut down their YouTube channel. ToastedShoes, known for Mortal Kombat mods, shared this on social media.
ToastedShoes received an IP Infringement Notification from Warner Bros. They demanded the removal of all Mortal Kombat 1 videos featuring mods. Warner Bros. warned that failure to comply would result in copyright strikes and potentially deleting the channel.
ToastedShoes’ videos often include characters not featured in the original game. One such video featured Disney characters modded into Mortal Kombat 1. These videos have gained significant attention, with over a billion views across platforms.
Despite this, Warner Bros. has recently cracked down on these mods. This move has upset many in the gaming community. ToastedShoes argues that these mods have helped promote the game and support the developers.
Warner Bros. has not yet commented on the situation. The community awaits further updates on this unfolding issue.
