      If I saw 20 articles pop up about my mod that directly violates TOS I’d also run for the hills. If journalists kept quiet it probably would’ve stayed up.

        How much trouble can you legally get in for this? It doesnt really seem like much. If anything this dude was helping them sell copies

          Even if he didn’t do anything illegal, Sony has enough money and lawyers to hurt him. Unless a judge threw out any case early, he’d still have to defend himself, which cost money and takes time.

            True, I’m just wondering if he expected it to stay under the radar then or what. Cause this is probably the most sought after mod for Sony PC games.

              Might have been one of those, “dog that caught the car” moments, where it got a lot bigger than he ever anticipated and didn’t expect all of the attention.

                Should have open sourced it, so it could be forked to infinity. Didn’t look anything up so maybe its hosted somewhere idk
