Recent events surrounding the viral Skibidi Toilet and its impact on the sandbox game Garry's Mod have taken a bizarre turn. However, a resolution appears to have been reached, with game developer Garry Newman confirming the matter is settled.

Garry Newman, creator of Garry's Mod, confirmed to IGN that a DMCA takedown notice was received late last year from individuals associated with the Skibidi Toilet copyright holders. Newman expressed his disbelief on a Discord server, stating, "Can you believe the cheek?" This sparked a viral controversy surrounding the Skibidi Toilet and Garry's Mod. While Newman has stated the issue is resolved, the identity of the party who sent the DMCA notice remains undisclosed.
The notice targeted unauthorized Skibidi Toilet add-ons within Garry's Mod, a game released by Valve in 2006. The sender claimed these add-ons, which reportedly generate substantial revenue, infringed on registered copyrights related to characters from the Skibidi Toilet web series, including Titan Cameraman, Titan Speakerman, and Titan TV Man.
