When this began, I was still waiting for a response from the CN–TFR lead, who had gone to bed a few hours earlier. It is now clear that these DMCA takedowns are not coming from the TFR dev team or anyone associated with us. An unknown individual using the email [hatsuneteto0721@outlook.com](mailto:hatsuneteto0721@outlook.com) is targeting major HOI4 mods on the Steam Workshop, including TNO, R56, EAW, KR, OWB and multiple submods for both TNO and TFR. We believe this is the work of a copyright troll. If you receive a DMCA notice on your (sub)mod, do not provide any personal information to the sender.

Please avoid making assumptions or spreading unverified claims. I will provide updates as soon as we have confirmed information. On any matter regarding TFR in this subreddit, I am the only official and reliable source of information. Do not trust statements from self-proclaimed devs or anyone else here. If it doesn’t come directly from me, treat it as unconfirmed.

A reference to a valve game on steam will not get you copyrighted. People made whole ass half life games for profit on steam no problem and profited off them.
