Remove Mod Support

Can we stop moving the goal posts all over the field to try and be right and actually just be capable of acknowledging issues without trying to quantify which is the worst one?

We know you can’t answer this simple question. However, this is an important question regarding the current stance about mods.

@FatsharkCatfish

When using mods, there are a few key points that Fatshark wants players to consider. Players found using any mods falling within any of the below categories in a way that affects other unmodded players will be subject to a prompt warning and possible ban from the game service.

• Using mods that directly affect unmodded players’ experience of the game and/or is used to grief other players.
  • Examples: Speed hacks, outright cheating in missions, etc.
• Using mods that affect the stability/performance of the game service.
• Using mods that devalue other players’ investments (time or monetary) in the game
  • Examples: Bypassing progression, penances or contracts, unlocking of premium cosmetics and currencies in the game service.
• Toxic behaviors reported as an indirect result of using mods.

So no, we cannot stop, cause if you cannot prove that, there is not mod (actually available on Nexus) against the current policy. And even if you keep repeating there are, if you can’t prove it, it won’t change this simple fact.

@Zoralink

Also thinking Fatshark has any control over Nexusmods is lol.

Prove that they have absolutely no control. Every time a problematic mod was reported, it was dropped from Nexus.
And Nexus have already stated that they allow only mods that are compliant with the mod policy of a game.

From File Submission Guidelines - Nexus Mods Site Help

Content that enables or promotes illegal activity, including but not limited to software piracy and copyright infringement, may be subject to moderation. Submissions must adhere to the licences and agreements associated with the modified or featured title(s).

This means that any mod uploaded to Nexus Mods should comply with the modding policies and terms of service set forth by the game’s developers or publishers.
Guess what will happen if a developer decides and tells Nexus support that one mod does not comply with the stated policy? do you think Nexus will argue with them like you do?
