http://www.dsogaming.com/news/kaldaiens-far-mod-for-nier-automata-detects-and-locks-pirates-out-of-playing/

A mod that improves performance for Nier Automata has a DRM check that locks pirates out of using the Mod.

The pirate butthurt coming out of this is pure gold. I dunno who this Kaldaien guy is, but good on him.

Shameful.

I'm conflicted about this. On one hand it's hilarious and stops pirating (mostly the funny part I don't care about pirating that much). On the other hand, it supports DRM.

The mod got cracked in minutes and is available for everyone.
Also the modder got banned in steam for harassing.

it's under GPL and if it really is a single if block then not complicated to fix.

>>60306548
I'm not. His attitude is wrong on so many levels.
His mod will delete the crack files if you are a pirate. This is not a problem right now because in case of most games it's just deleting a couple files, but it's playing with fire anyway.
He also maintains a ban list that crashes the game for the people he doesn't like.
It's not even about not supporting piracy, it's about being a cunt about it.

No, i doesn't.
It just doesn't do anything to modified game files.

Yeah, pirates deserve it, no shit.
It's just that even if I wanted to fuck with them I'd stay away from deleting files. Making a mistake and deleting important files isn't a can of worms I'd like to be dealing with.
Also, every single DRM so far have caused issues for paying customers.

This is not the first time some asshurt faggot is putting malicious code into a video game mod, there were many incidents in multiplayer games where the admin uses the game client to fuck up people he didn't like or even changing the master server the client uses so he can make people see only the servers he approves of. This is why we tell you vidyafaggots to stop playing proprietary games.

So it's malware.

I think I'm entitled to do whatever the fuck I want on my machine, buyfag. Lets also not forget that the software creator is basically oppressing his users by not using a license that ensures their freedom. Such a person is not entitled to any level of decency from his users either.

>he thinks he can "own" a sequence of 1s and 0s
I bet you believe in intellectual property rights too. Non-free software is just creating artificial scarcity where none ought to exist. Thankfully this retarded mod dev GPL'd his terrible software so others can make it better while he sobs and masturbates in the corner.

Wow. Devs releasing a mod that fucks cracks over. That's never happened before.

That doesn't mean they consented to this modder's bullshit.

None of this would even be a problem if the game developers were ethical and made their software FLOSS in the first place.

You realize this has been recompiled a bunch of times without the reddit autism right?

His mod has already been "cracked" though, which isn't unexpected since all his mods are open sauce. It's literally nothing but the rage of a buttblasted manchild. Also I heard he's been banned from steam forums a couple times since his tirade against other users and calling them pirates.

He also blacklists people he doesn't like from using it. And the installer that he made seems shady and deliberately obtuse. Meanwhile, the mod does nothing more than what MSI afterburner wouldn't do for you, aside from some lighting bullshit he added later that I'm sure is bullshit like the other lighting bullshit he made.
He seems like a faggot. I bought the game by the way.

I don't mind the guy writing this, it has nothing to do with supporting piracy. Pirates not smart enough to actually know how to read code get BTFO'd, those that do get to keep on trucking, literal win-win for the community. Have some pride, if you think you are smart enough to outsmart a game company with a crack, if someone else outsmarts you along the way you just got fucked up, plain and simple.

They've been spamming /v/ like crazy with anti-piracy threads and shitposts for the past year or two. Sometimes there will also be origin-shilling threads where steam and GoG are bashed and everyone is told how great origin is.

I mean, the shilling is really fucking blatant, but the average IQ's about room temperature these days so it works on way too many people.

>>60306233

This is honestly funny as hell. I don't care if people pirate shit and personally don't support DRM, but this is some good old style malicious software made for the intent of trolling people instead of financial gain which is nice to see today, just like the ransomware that forces you to play Touhou and get above a certain score to decrypt your files.
