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.
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.

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.
