Techland trying to stop all modding of the game.

[Enfo]

Techland is basically trying and stop all modders from adding potential replay value to the game by completely blocking the use of mods from the game and filing copyright violations against the downloadable mods on the internet. A lot more detailed information can be found here:

Seems like a sad thing looking back at how great mods made Dead Island.


Is this okay?

Well tehcland devs confirmed they will support modding in the future, they did it genuinely out of trying to stop hackers.

Yeah well after pulling a **** move like this, their "confirmed support of modding" better damn well include a FULL set of modding tools.

I mean seriously, if all the game has is co-op, then their "it's to stop hackers" excuse is a million times more pathetic and pointless. Honestly, who the flying **** gives a rats *** if some idiots want to cheat together in a CO-OP game?!?!? It doesn't affect anyone in any way shape or form.

Whats horrible is they abusing dcma for folks who even make fixes or add option to remove film grain etc... SOMETHING that should of been in the game to begin with. At least now I know who we dealing with.

This garbage is like DRM, it only hurts the legit people, cheats, hackers,pirates will always be there but hey lets PUNISH the legit people.. these people really dont have a clue, all that intelligence yet not one bit common sense among the whole lot them..

I can appreciate they are trying to deal with hackers. Personally, I dont really see much mileage for me in Multiplayer on this game and Co Op leaves me cold on most games unless they involve building and a long term goal (Life is Feudal etc). But stamping out hackers is a good thing. I think a better response would have been to make a legit way to mod.

Many of the best games ever made would have not been a legendary as they are without the modding community. Skyrim and Oblivion would have been pretty medicore, as it is, because of mods they are classics. The opportunities to add more depth to a game like this would lend itself well to modding. Seems like a balancing act. How to keep hackers out and allow for modding. Not easy.

Wow, one of the things I enjoy doing is playing with mods when I am done with or get bored with a game. This is one of the reasons why I like TES and Fallout so much.

I don't particularily mind if a game doesn't have mods, but if a developer is actively trying to kill mods for there game and using false DMCA takedowns to attack modders? Whelp, not interested. Going to give this game a pass.

Edit: I can see the point for multiplayer, I am mostly talking about the single player.

Honestly after their last two games and the whoring of the IP and now this parkor(s) crap I don't know how anyone would buy their games. All I really want from the Dead Island franchise is the zombie damage modeling and sounds in H1Z1 or a true survival game. I mean this is their third game and still no real day and night cycle and no real survival elements. It's just rehash on a new engine with parkor or whatever the hell you want to call bouncing off walls. It's cool you can climb on stuff though and use the envrionment. Rest is just meh. I would play this on PS4 for 20 bucks. Not a penny more. I wouldn't even try and run this on PC after their last two fails. Chrome 8 might be better but from all the performance threads it doesn't sound like much has changed. I will definantly pass on this.

Companies like Techland just don't get it. They should be banned from PC development IMO they are such trash at it. Now they are banning mods on PC lol. Just when you think they could not get any worse.

I personally don't think that's a bad idea. As if they allow modding then this game will basicly just repeat what happened in Dead Island (modders and hack kiddies everywhere) I doubt they wanna repeat that.

Personally, I'm all in favor of the idea the dev's came up with.

Hackers still exist, your point is dead, buried and invalid

If they cared they would use VAC

Mods would make the game better they always do.
