As of now, there is no verified public report confirming that Larian Studios received a DMCA strike from Wizards of the Coast (D&D's intellectual property holder) specifically targeting a Baldur’s Gate 3 mod. However, there has been significant discussion and media coverage surrounding modding, intellectual property (IP), and the relationship between Larian Studios and Wizards of the Coast.
Here’s what’s known and widely reported:
1. No Official DMCA Strike Confirmed
No official statement from Larian Studios, Wizards of the Coast, or the DMCA enforcement body (such as the U.S. Copyright Office) has confirmed a DMCA strike against a Baldur’s Gate 3 mod.
While Wizards of the Coast has a history of enforcing its IP, including issuing takedown notices for unauthorized D&D content, no such action has been publicly linked to a mod of Baldur’s Gate 3.
2. Larian Studios’ Stance on Mods
Larian has actively encouraged modding for Baldur’s Gate 3, providing:
A modding API (via the Larian Modding Framework).
Support for community creators.
Public acknowledgment of modders' contributions.
They have even hosted mod contests and featured mods on their official site and social media.
3. Legal Caution Around IP Use
While Larian supports modding, they’ve clarified that mods must not:
Use Wizards of the Coast’s official D&D 5th Edition content (e.g., official stat blocks, spells, monsters) without proper licensing.
Violate Wizards’ trademark or copyright policies.
This means that while fan-made content (e.g., new races, classes, items) is allowed, using official D&D material in a way that could infringe on copyright (e.g., redistributing the Player’s Handbook) is not.
4. Larian’s Response to Concerns
Larian has reassured the community that they are not targeting modders.
They emphasize collaboration and creativity, while acknowledging the need to respect third-party IP.
5. Possible Misinformation or Misinterpretation
The phrase "DMCA strike" may have been misused or exaggerated in online forums or social media.
Some mods have been removed from platforms like Nexus Mods due to DMCA claims, but these were not officially tied to Larian or a direct strike against the studio.
Summary:
❌ No, Larian Studios has not received a DMCA strike for a Baldur’s Gate 3 mod.
✅ Larian actively supports modding and provides tools for creators.
⚠️ Mods must not misuse official D&D 5e content under Wizards of the Coast’s IP rights.
🛡️ Larian encourages community creativity while respecting IP boundaries.
If you heard otherwise, it may stem from a misunderstanding, rumor, or a mod being taken down for IP concerns—not a strike against Larian itself.
For updates, always refer to official sources like:
Larian Studios’ official website
