UPDATE 25/9/24, 10.35pm: Nexus Mods has confirmed iArtorias removed their mod, which let players bypass PSN for God of War Ragnarök on PC, in order to “avoid any future action from Sony”.
In a conversation between Nexus Mods and iArtorias, the creator said the mod had “got too much attention” following its release, and they ultimately thought it would be “better to remove it from public” use.
iArtorias added even though their mod did not alter “anything in memory related to Sony products”, they felt it was “better [to] be safe than sorry” in this case, adding it was their decision to remove the mod from Nexus.
We’ve had a chat with the mod author about this and can confirm that the mod was removed due to a personal decision after it received significant traction, including coverage from prominent news outlets, to avoid any future action by Sony. pic.twitter.com/rsMp3YEqnO— Nexus Mods (@NexusSites) September 25, 2024
