Pretty sure ACT is just a packet sniffer.

On the upside, if they enforce file signing and checking we would get the option to repair an installation of ffxiv as a side effect, rather than the game exploding when it runs across a corrupted file.

I heard that in part of one of his interviews they stated that modders are actually making thousands of dollars off their mods, from patreon or whatever. I don't really feel like this is a good thing for the game.

I see he's starting to drip his poison into the FF14 playerbase just as he did with WoW. All in the name of viewers cash.

Our characters don't have nipples.
Mods created for nipples should be banned?
So many people exaggerating things here.

I never understood why this wasn't a feature by default

Like, do you mean spend thousands on a therapist?

Inform family members about your opinions on FFXIV and Lalafell?

Self-report to your local police about your particular stance?

Can you elaborate so I have context - because I always hear that exact quote in internet arguments.

The game is and always has been full of more late teen to adult content too.

What makes you say that? The fact the devs put an underage girl stripping and having a dragon slide all over her body a raid boss?

Blaming ERP or grooming on modding is such a cop out. The sexual activity and open fetishization is more rooted in the way internet culture has developed and seems more prevalent and overt in weeb environments. If S-E wants to enforce bans to try to protect their brand that's fine and totally understandable, but it's also worth mentioning that the mods being discussed are extreme outliers that are probably illegal and thus aren't even allowed on discord or the main modding sites - it would be more difficult for anyone, or a minor especially, to stumble across something like that. Meanwhile, in game you can find things like this in droves...

I've even seen Lalafell fetish fellowships pop up in there from time to time. They could get rid of modding, and one of the cooler things about this game on PC would be gone, but the ERP and the subcultures of this player community would remain.

To be fair it only happens after light rampant and underage people aren't smart enough to be able to get past it /s
