This is honestly a valid question. We live in a time where even if what you are doing is in the boundaries of the law you may have to protect your identity to avoid the threat of lawsuit.
This is a good example. Paid for the game but don’t want it to be always online or whatknot? Don’t go tampering with EA’s game you naughty boy/girl.
I think about the times I’ve downloaded mods for games like the original Dawn of War or Star Wars Empire at war. Legality was never a question especially since those mods were still in-universe in those franchises but now licensing agreements mixed with more hostile and litigious publishers could make you a target for lawsuit.
Why don’t more devs just stay anonymous and send fuck yous to lawfirms
How are they going to distribute something while being anonymous?
Nice try, law firm trying to learn our tricks.
Without even thinking: open source public code repository, p2p networks like torrents.
