From the Nexus Mods Discord:

God of War No PSN Requirement Mod

Hi <@&1116364961757790238>

We've had several questions from the community about the NoPSSDK mod for God of War Ragnarok which is no longer available on the site.

We would like to clarify this page was removed by the mod author and not by a member of our team.

I've reached out to iArtorias to find out what happened, but we suspect that Sony may have requested they remove it as they've deleted it from GitHub too.

Nexusmods has always been cucked about this sort of thing. I cant blame them but its still sad to see.

It can be made the argument that the mod is a way to circumvent copy protection and due to this in conflict with the DMCA (and all the equal laws in many other lands).
A mod like this is not the worth to go to court over, so it is only understandable that the creator has pulled it from the net the best he could. And even if Nexus had pulled the mod down over a DMCA notice nobody should blame them. We may not like the laws but Nexus Mods is bound to it.

Nexus Mods didn't delete it. The creator took it down themselves.

Yes, I know. Never said anything else.
