God of Battle Ragnarok’s PSN requirement on PC was no drawback because of a mod, besides that mod has now been eliminated for worry of authorized motion.
When God of Battle Ragnarok lastly launched on PC this month, it got here with one little snag: you needed to join your PSN account to play it. This, in fact, led to the sport being evaluate bombed barely, although there’s been no signal of PlayStation altering its thoughts on the matter. Then, in got here one modder who made a mod that simply allow you to sidestep the PSN sign-in malarky, although it did not appear to work all the time. This mod was all the time going to be a little bit of a dangerous one, and now the modder has made the choice to delete the mod completely, for the comprehensible cause of worrying that Sony may take authorized motion.
“Howdy, that was my private choice as a result of the mod has obtained an excessive amount of consideration,” wrote the modder in an announcement (by way of VGC). “I believed that it could be higher to take away it from public to keep away from any potential threats from the Sony aspect, although the mission by no means modified something reminiscence associated to Sony merchandise, however higher be protected than sorry.” Necessary to notice that the modder is not claiming that Sony has taken any type of authorized motion concerning the mod, extra that they are doing this as a precautionary measure within the occasion Sony have been to do one thing.
This PSN requirement from Sony has total been a little bit of a controversial one for its PC releases this yr, the most important incident being Helldivers 2, which suffered from some severe evaluate bombing when it was introduced you’d should sign-in to a PSN account, months after launch. That one was obtained so poorly Sony walked again the choice, however I do not see it doing that for all of its releases going ahead.
