    From the Nexus Mods Discord:

    God of War No PSN Requirement Mod

    Hi <@&1116364961757790238>

    We’ve had several questions from the community about the NoPSSDK mod for God of War Ragnarok which is no longer available on the site.

    We would like to clarify this page was removed by the mod author and not by a member of our team.

    I’ve reached out to iArtorias to find out what happened, but we suspect that Sony may have requested they remove it as they’ve deleted it from GitHub too.

        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

        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.

        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.

            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:(

        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.
