Blizzard is already taking legal action against various modders related to Diablo 2: Resurrected. How Kotaku reported received several mod developers Requests to cease and desist, one even reports from private detectives who are said to have visited him personally. It’s about mods that were released for the technical alpha version of Diablo 2: Resurrected.
According to Blizzard, they are intended to violate terms of use or pose security risks. About a program removed the online constraint from Diablo 2: Resurrected and enabled players to play in offline mode, which Blizzard goes against the grain.
Not all mods are evil
It is important to distinguish: Blizzard has nothing per se against mods, as the company said in a statement. It only goes against certain programs:
“We recognize that a big part of Diablo 2’s longevity is the modding community and we appreciate their enthusiasm for the game. Classic Diablo 2 and its mods will continue to exist and we will do our best to keep the mods for too.” We will continue to support Diablo 2: Resurrected. However, some mods are atypical and pose a security threat to our games. Security has always been our top priority and programs that could pose major security problems will not be tolerated. “
Apparently, Blizzard is concerned that some mods could also open the door to cheaters and hackers. And it is quite understandable that the developers want to prevent Diablo 2: Resurrected from being playable without a Battle.net connection, as that would possibly mean the beginning of the end of the copy protection function.
