by Andy Chalk

It's been quite a ride for Baldur's Village, the big Stardew Valley mod that brings Baldur's Gate 3 characters and content to the world's most popular life sim. It launched in early March and everyone loved it including Larian boss Swen Vincke, but then whoops, Wizards of the Coast clobbered it with a DMCA takedown request. Everyone got mad, Swen wagged his finger, and then WotC said whoops, it was a mistake! And now it's back... Read more.

It's been a turbulent few days for fans of both Baldur's Gate 3 and Stardew Valley. First, the highly anticipated 'Baldur's Village' mod, which brings the cast of BG3 to Pelican Town, was released to widespread acclaim. Then, Dungeons and Dragons owner Wizards of the Coast decided to issue a takedown notice on the project, leaving it in limbo. Everything has worked out since then, thankfully, with WotC saying the DMCA was a mistake and apologizing for the issue altogether. Now, the modding team behind Baldur's Village has outlined what's next for the mod, with multiple updates planned. Read the rest of the story...

Popular BG3 themed Stardew Valley mod will be re-listed after unintentional DMCA

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Despite Baldur's Gate 3 icons like Astarion ascending into the hall of fame for beloved gaming characters, and the RPG being a huge canvas for mods itself, fans were surprised and saddened to see today that Wizards of the Coast (the license holders of Dungeons and Dragons) had DMCA'd a popular Stardew Valley mod. Baldur's Village puts a romanceable Astarion into the game, among other additions, but is currently unavailable following a takedown notice. After some critical remarks from Baldur's Gate 3's game director and the co-founder of Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, WotC has now apologized and admitted the takedown notice was a mistake.
