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

Why should retro games have no licenses? And I personally don't oppose anything, just pointing to the laws and how I understand it. Am I a lawyer? No! Is my knowledge of such laws primarly only valid for germany and the EU? Yes

There could be a legal basis against romhacks, and even a bigger one if they are paid, but it could may be legal too. That is one of those cases where a court ruling would be helpfull to be sure.

I mean to say, there's no T&C with retro games.
