Nice, and they waited til the end of the Steam sale, too. Real classy.

This mod was hyped previously. DMCAing it right before its release date is a different kind of dick move; especially considering the game is vulnerable to an RCE exploit and the mod would likely patch it to have things move more securely.

The timing of this move makes me want to never buy another game from Activision (or Microsoft, by extension). Just such a blatant exploitation of the community.

I think that’s been the move for awhile now. I have not or will not buy anything Activision or Blizzard, I would rather pirate if I wanted it that bad. But I’m finding that their games now a days are just copy and paste someone else’s usually. This really was a dick move though.

They had to have known about it for a while too.

So they sat and let the devs get it to a finished state only to pull this

They’re happy to let it drive sales for their game.

I mean, apparently not. They could have had even more sales once the mod released, but I guess they don’t like money.
