    I looked around and there do seem to be backups out there, would suggest people download them and reupload them. Same way was done when they tried to go after YouTube-dl.

    I think this is a way to release it, it will get copied numerous times, and then he can shut down and avoid legal trouble.

    Putting it on nexusmods was a PR stunt.

    Was enough to make a crack, so, now we all can play it without DRM anyway

  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.

  i assume he got a cease and desist letter from sony

  source

  • DarkMetatron@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    According to public sources at Nexus Mods he has taken it down preemptively out of fear for possible consequences.
    But there is always the possibility that the cease and desist letter came with a firm request to not talk about the cease and desist letter, but that is highly speculoos
