Looks like the Ghostrunner developers also have an issue with paid mods running off their IP.

End corporate personhood. IP laws have become malign corporate distortions of reasonable artist protections. No company should be allowed to 'own' anything, but certainly not IP. A company has no intellect, thus cannot have intellectual property.

As for this case in particular, selling a mod is absolutely not infringing on the IP of the game it is attached to any more than selling a clip on bookmark/magnifying glass/book light (a tool attached to a piece of media to grant the user a useful extra functionality/greater ease of use when interacting with that piece of media) infringes on the IP of the author.
