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
I love all the comments implying this dude is a coward. Total armchair shit
Children trying to talk about adult topics.
Seriously. It's all shit posting and vidya until legal council from a multinational corporation is knocking at your door.
well funded bullies...
Corporate komisar doesn't appreciate you!
The game is cracked already; what's the point pursuing someone that just removes PSN from legal copies?
There's a reason they want all the legal copies to have PSN login, if they were fine with it getting bypassed they wouldn't have made it a requirement in the first place
What's the reason?
Lock you into their eco system and sell more of your data
To sell them more games and merchandise and sell any data it collects.
Good. Fuck Sony
Once you put it on the internet, it's there forever.
I could of sworn I read Sony decided to make the PSN account optional.
I think that was for Helldivers 2
I just searched it, straight from playstations website:
https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-games/god-of-war-ragnarok-pc
"Do I need a PSN account to play PlayStation games on PC?"
"No, you currently do not need a PSN account to enjoy PlayStation Studio games on PC, but you will need a Steam account to redeem your voucher code. Some of our PlayStation Studios titles also offer incentives for linking your Steam and PSN accounts."
Edit: Their website could be outdated, or incorrect? I just swear I saw an article title that Sony removed the requirement for PSN for Ragnarok PC.
Huh? Mod creator removed their own mod? I heard that Nexus Mods removed their mod.
Nope, Nexus posted that they had nothing to do with it coming down
Called it. Not in this fashion, but called it.
