Konami hates the Mod Community -New TOS-

[InI]

Read the new TOS. It's basically stating they will disable you from even starting the game up if you tamper with the files.

So basically if you have a simple mod that turns D Dog into a actually Dog.

You will be banned from the game entirely.

Instead of figuring out how to punish actual hackers, you know the guys who bring Fulton Guns, Camo & infinite health to FOBs, they're just going to wipe us all out instead.

You simplying using a mod that increases FOV or a mod that adds the DD Soldiers to cut scenes is grounds for a ban.

Thanks Konami! MGSV is the greatest game of all time!

VERSACE WIFI lähetti viestin:

They would literally have to be paranoid and report you. Then Konami will just snoop around your files to see if you have mods. Then they can pass judgement on their own. Shoot you might not even get banned for FOV..they could find something else.

Nah, it would take so many extra resources to comb through peoples' files. Resources they already aren't using to fight hackers. The TOS language may be scary but it's a cheap and easy solution.

Just don't go around attracting unwanted attention being a pillaging hacker and u should be fine.

Like i give half sh*t about what Konami don't like. I also don't like being cheated by showing us dishonest trailers and not telling us how repetitive the game is and how unfinished the story is. If Konami will ban me from starting the game at all (like i doubt they can do that), i will just pirate the game (which i should have done in the beginning) and even post video how the game is downloading from torrent for me!
No company will dictate me what i can and cannot do with copy of game for which i paid. I don't gave a f*ck about eula and other similar rules that are full of sh*t, especially if i was cheated by the company like i was by Konami. You can try Konami. You can try.

They won't ban you, they are dikks. We all know that. But they haven't cheated you in any way when it comes to the story or trailers. Everything you saw in the trailers made it into the final game, and the provided you with a finished product which ended with mission 31.

You only paid for the right to play the game, you don't actually own the game. It is not yours. They can do whatever they want. This is why you can decline their rules and move on. But you know what the sad part is? The only way to agree or not to agree with their rules is to first buy the game. You can't decline or read them beforehand. This applies to all games.

Am I the only one who thinks that this has nothing to do with the hacker problem? It because they just released dlc and don't want people to get it free through mods.

[Zeph]

Will this cause me to get banned? I've never modified anything and yet I have both quiet in the brig and Huey in R&D despite having completed the game (quiet is not a buddy).

I also have quite a few S++ soldiers from a hackers base. They're literally clones of each other.

where can i read it?Seems like i missed something

PLS NO BAN lähetti viestin:

JAD lähetti viestin:

I've read those lines of the TOS today, and basically any alteration of game files that in some way gives you advantage over other players during online aspects of the game is absolutely forbidden. But this isn't new, this has been like this from day one.

Quiet's mod doesn't make any harm to any aspect of online gameplay. TOS says that if you make a bad gaming experience to any other player by using hacks, cheats, or any other kind of 3rd party software, alteration of game files in a manner that gives advantage, etc. you can be excluded from online modes, such as FOB and MGO in the future.

I used to have the DualShock 4 mod for the button prompts, but since the patch of october 6, it got patched, and haven't installed it back. Such mod doesn't affect online gameplay in any manner and it's 100% legal to use.

Only cheats, hacks, or mods that give you any kind of advantage in online game modes is considered cheating.

BTW, to all hackers that are thinking about cheating in MGO. Grow up, get a life, or better, get a girlfriend :)

You missed one point that's been happening a lot. Players are stealing S++ soldiers from hackers and using them.

So do you think Konami should ban someone for using a soldier they captured from a hacker? Example: I bring a S++ Tough Guy (That I took from a hacker) as a Defender. And the invader reports me. It's impossible to tell but I'm just throwing ideas out there. He can easily report the player and Konami can still pass thier own judgement if they want to ban or not.

I believe that if the person does know the fact that that FOB's is from a hacker, then yes. That person is in some way taking advantage of a flaw in the game caused by a cheater. That is also covered in the TOS.

About the FOV editing, that's an advantage as well and it's also covered in the TOS. Basically, in a nutsell, everything that gives you any kind of advantage against other players is forbidden. But, some games have a FOV option integrated, such as Battlefield, for example. So FOV modification in my opinion would be something less important but it does give advantage over a closer FOV and in MGSV you can't modify FOV without altering game files, an such modification since it gives you an advantage is considered, as I said, illegal.

Konami.

Why not make it so mods will only work in offline mode instead of banning them altogether how stupid. How about they get off their asses and include the cutscenes that were cut and finsh chapter three? One word greed.

[SenMithrarin85]

They surely cannot prevent the game from starting and even iof they did, some one would find a way to reverse it.

Its basically easier to prevent all mods regardless of what they are than take the time to discern whether they would give unfair advantages in mp. Bit like From Software really.

Even with a soft ban, From can only block you from multiplayer. Same with rockstar and GTA 5. They cannot stop the single player from working. I for one couldn't give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about FOB andf multiplayer.

But like someone said above its more than likely its to prevent extraction and distribution of their crappy cosmetic dlc.

Technically thay can. They just have to revoke the license from your steam account.

Well boys and girls, what would that lead to? Loss of future sales and people who lost access to the game pirating it. I doubt they'd go that far as it really would not be in tehir financial interests.

Konami doesn't care. You think this is all they do? They're like Sega, they have a wealth of other business ventures outside of gaming. I'd wager that actual pachinko machines are both cheaper and make more money than any of these games they release.

Color me surprised.

i couldnt care less lol i havent even accepted the tos once on the game, i have and only will play the base game offline, hell i still have all my resources and none are locked behind some bs online ♥♥♥♥

Thats what I was thinking. If you refuse the ToS when you load the game, it reverts to offline mode. It doesn't close down on you. I think they're referring to loss of access to the multiplayer side of things.
