From the Nexus Mods Discord:
Hope that mod was forked
I looked around and there do seem to be backups out there, would suggest people download them and reupload them. Same way was done when they tried to go after YouTube-dl.
There was a fork and I've found the source code lmao, gonna save it
Where?
I can't tell you because I don't want to be sued by Sony but please don't open this link!
Lemmy might have leaked it with a preview:(
please DO NOT use this magnet link (I unconciously might have put the magnet link you should not use in this comment):
magnet link that you should not use
I'm not on pc but on android it gives me infinite download time
Ah yeah, seems like nobody is seeding it at the moment. I'll start seeding as soon as I get home.
How did you find it?
I didn't. I made it myself. I was seeding it for like 30min before I went outside.
Ooh based on the source code above? Nice!
Y'all yunggins should also learn to use hex code translators:

Pleasantly surprised nexus mods weren’t being goons in this scenario
The modder posted like two days ago that he was gonna continue to maintain it lmao how quickly they changed their tune
I think this is a way to release it, it will get copied numerous times, and then he can shut down and avoid legal trouble.
Putting it on nexusmods was a PR stunt.
Was enough to make a crack, so, now we all can play it without DRM anyway
i assume he got a cease and desist letter from sony
According to public sources at Nexus Mods he has taken it down preemptively out of fear for possible consequences.
But there is always the possibility that the cease and desist letter came with a firm request to not talk about the cease and desist letter, but that is highly speculoos
oh okay
Nexusmods has always been cucked about this sort of thing. I cant blame them but its still sad to see.
Did you even read the comment lol
It can be made the argument that the mod is a way to circumvent copy protection and due to this in conflict with the DMCA (and all the equal laws in many other lands).
A mod like this is not the worth to go to court over, so it is only understandable that the creator has pulled it from the net the best he could. And even if Nexus had pulled the mod down over a DMCA notice nobody should blame them. We may not like the laws but Nexus Mods is bound to it.
Nexus Mods didn't delete it. The creator took it down themselves.
Yes, I know. Never said anything else.
