Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

and whether it was the modder directly or nexus, it was only a matter of time before Sony lawyers sent a cease and desist.

There are mods and alternate launchers that skip these things for pretty much every single player game that has launchers and sign-ins. This isn't a new concept.

and it's not a new concept that it's begging corporations to threaten legal action for things they don't like

None of these mods get sued. You can calm down on the outrage.

Lol dude I'm not outraged. I'm honestly very unsurprised by their actions. I'm annoyed that people are so shocked that it happened - literally a day after it made all the gaming blogs with headlines essentially saying "Look you can give the finger to Sony with this one little mod". Everyone laughed and said FU to Sony, and then the dev even said something stupid like "I promise never to take it down".

Then of course So ya lawyers came in and threatened the guy. Of course they did. I am zero percent shocked they did. So he had the choice of spending 6 figures fighting them in court, or take it down. I don't blame him at all. I eyeroll at everyone who so publicly flaunted it yesterday when it should have been a quiet passing around.

I see what you're saying.
The Mass Effect dll mod went through the same thing. I still have the original download just in case it got removed.
And it did.
But it was only like a week or two before it was uploaded by the author again, and it's been up since.
