        Yeah of course - just have fun paying your own lawyer 6 figures to prove that in court while their team of lawyers try to convince a judge that it is illegal.

          This isn’t the first time a similar mod is made for a game, and no one has ever been sued. I can think of SimCity 2013 and Hitman WoA having such hacks, as well as private WoW servers.

            Okay well I’m not going to sit here and argue semantics. People have been sued by corporations before just for mods, that has happened a lot. All I was doing was simply pointing out that what they are doing is noble, but that we should never trust a corporation to not take the hammer out and try to destroy it, and keeping it quiet helps keep it out of their sphere for a while longer.
