From the info I found, the consensus is it’s a troll who found a way to abuse the Steam reporting. Apparently the list of games being hit by these takedowns is huge, like 25+ games.
I followed the source in the linked article to a Vice article, that then linked to the source, a Reddit post. Stormdark UI for Terraria looks to have been hit.

I’d love to find the original thread the article cites, but their link just leads back to the article.
i’d like to know which terraria mods.
edit: killer57 has found the effected mod in the thread below. (Stormdark UI)
Same! I thought the Terraria devs were pretty positive toward the modding community.
I don’t see any indication that it’s the games’ developers that are doing this.
Who else would go around filing DMCAs?
Copyright holders who believe their IP is being violated by a given mod?
