    well, I do understand that in tournaments the games shouldn’t be modded.

    Otherwise: let players do what ever they please.

      Does this game not have any anticheat? I would have expected the game to stop you from loading modded content into multiplayer.

        I’m surprised the textures aren’t added locally. The host sends their textures to other players? That sounds so inefficient.

          I’m being told that the mod was on the casters computer. Which makes sense

        absolutely no idea. Would have assumed the online mode would have had anticheat.

        Though, was the tournament held online? TBH, skimmed through the article really fast

          I assume even if it was over LAN it would include multiple copies of the game talking to each other. That means that the game allows you to upload skins from your game to other people. Which rases security concerns for me.

            or, as simpler explanation: the footage was captured from a device which was running the modded game.

            edit: or, from the stream of the person using modded game.

            Since you’ve already been corrected on the assumption that players used/saw the nude mod, I’ll just point out: Fighting game tournaments almost never use “lan”. Two players sit in front of one console and one monitor, and plug in their own controllers. Super high budget tournaments like EVO might use dual-console setups for finals day, but when you’re chewing through an open bracket it’s just silly to double the required amount of hardware per station.

      As a person who has lived in a more oppresive country for the most of his life, I can tell you with high confidence that when you hear “public order and morals” it is usually a whole load of bullshit to appease the general population. Also there is a very high chance that the people saying this shit gain something from the changes made to ensure the “public order and morals”

    Do they happen to give a list of which mods these are and where I can find them? So I know which ones to avoid, obviously.

      AAA studios don’t like mods much anyways. Mods are just creative DLC that the studio didn’t make and can’t force players to keep buying to keep profits up, along with shutting down private game servers - again forcing players to use or rent official servers for $. Mods keep older games alive that studios may not want to host files for anymore.

      There’s no shortage of reasons to limit mods…outrage over boobs is a drop in the bucket.

        Sure, but this is their excuse to clamp down and limit all mods for the reasons you listed under the banner of morals and such.

    While on one hand this seems silly and overreaching, I am also reminded of just how much trouble Rockstar got in for the Hot Coffee mod. The game was reclassified as adult in the US and banned in Australia, and I think they got hit with fines as well as a lawsuit.

    Now sure this was content that technically shipped with the game, but since it was impossible to access without modding for all practical purposes it was added by the mod.

      And such a silly overreaction to the hot coffee situation

      People were perfectly fine when their kids could murder and beat up civilians, but oh no not a poor simulation of sex!

        Yeah it’s mindblowing when murder, which is pretty universally considered not ok, is somehow more acceptable to present than sex, which is a completely normal thing that is accepted in all societies.
