well, I do understand that in tournaments the games shouldn't be modded.

Otherwise: let players do what ever they please.

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Does this game not have any anticheat? I would have expected the game to stop you from loading modded content into multiplayer.

[–] deathmetal27@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

The mod was running on a caster's machine. Perhaps some spectator mode.

Edit: Here's the clip BTW (Warning NSFW): https://files.catbox.moe/52t0v1.mp4

Oh no, there go my morals

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

Oh, that makes more sense.

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm surprised the textures aren't added locally. The host sends their textures to other players? That sounds so inefficient.

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'm being told that the mod was on the casters computer. Which makes sense

[–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

absolutely no idea. Would have assumed the online mode would have had anticheat.

Though, was the tournament held online? TBH, skimmed through the article really fast

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I assume even if it was over LAN it would include multiple copies of the game talking to each other. That means that the game allows you to upload skins from your game to other people. Which rases security concerns for me.

[–] Malix@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

or, as simpler explanation: the footage was captured from a device which was running the modded game.

edit: or, from the stream of the person using modded game.

Fuck the puritans and their morals.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So you're saying you want to fuck Puritans? 😏

[–] alienanimals@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yes. In more ways than one. It's the only way they'll learn.

[–] icepuncher69@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Some of them can be very hot but a boring fuck i guess sonce they would just whant missionary.

I mean depending on the puritan, yes.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Public order and morals." Lmfao

Who even says that shit?

[–] whereBeWaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

As a person who has lived in a more oppresive country for the most of his life, I can tell you with high confidence that when you hear "public order and morals" it is usually a whole load of bullshit to appease the general population. Also there is a very high chance that the people saying this shit gain something from the changes made to ensure the "public order and morals"

"Our game about people with sexually stylized bodies punching each other in the face shall not be morally tarnished"

I'm gonna need a list of the offensive mods for science

[–] 1847953620@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Download them so the kids can't get them

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Saved you a click: there are no pictures of the mod in action in the article.

[–] reluctantpornaccount@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol, that's less exciting than I expected.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

There's more nudity in Boulders Gate, without mods, like in the game. And basically no one seems to actually care.

[–] PowerSeries@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah all the bears are naked!

[–] DannyMac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you click a link to when the article was first reported, it links to a tweet where you can see it.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Do they happen to give a list of which mods these are and where I can find them? So I know which ones to avoid, obviously.

[–] leaky_shower_thought@feddit.nl 11 points 1 year ago

Oh noes! Such ofens to morals

-- Capcom, as they pat their eyes with wads of cash

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fun. Excuses to limit modding…

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AAA studios don't like mods much anyways. Mods are just creative DLC that the studio didn't make and can't force players to keep buying to keep profits up, along with shutting down private game servers - again forcing players to use or rent official servers for $. Mods keep older games alive that studios may not want to host files for anymore.

There's no shortage of reasons to limit mods...outrage over boobs is a drop in the bucket.

[–] fuzzzerd@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Sure, but this is their excuse to clamp down and limit all mods for the reasons you listed under the banner of morals and such.

[–] kattfisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While on one hand this seems silly and overreaching, I am also reminded of just how much trouble Rockstar got in for the Hot Coffee mod. The game was reclassified as adult in the US and banned in Australia, and I think they got hit with fines as well as a lawsuit.

Now sure this was content that technically shipped with the game, but since it was impossible to access without modding for all practical purposes it was added by the mod.

[–] Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And such a silly overreaction to the hot coffee situation

People were perfectly fine when their kids could murder and beat up civilians, but oh no not a poor simulation of sex!

[–] kattfisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's mindblowing when murder, which is pretty universally considered not ok, is somehow more acceptable to present than sex, which is a completely normal thing that is accepted in all societies.

[–] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait until they learn about Sims 4 mods....

[–] SquiffSquiff@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

Really? I can remember mods to do exactly this (in other games) over 20 years ago.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Capcom need to hire some Western employees and then elevate them to high ranks because they need a better perspective.

It's like Nintendo they're utterly insane do not ever talk about our games online attitude. You know, because heaven forbid they get free advertising.

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile in Baldur's Gate 3...

[–] nvrmind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Uh... boo fucking hoo? Idrk why it's any of Capcom's business what players do with their own copy lmao

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Corporate speak for "I'm morally outraged that these mods displaying our character models in the nude exist. Wink Now that we've gotten that out of the way, money pwease!"

[–] doleo@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
  • Makes a game about beating the shit out of people

  • Complains about offences to public order and morals

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
  • Features scantily clad women with anatomically absurd proportions

  • Shocked when thirsty perverts make lewd mods

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are they gonna regulate mods?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

For personal use, no.

When playing in tournaments I would hope so. Ideally matches in a tournament setting should have exact same systems to prevent tampering for an advantage.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That's reasonable

[–] pory@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Matches in in-person tournaments happen with both players on the same console. It's not possible to cheat in a 2d fighter online using mods, because the game's multiplayer data is directly peer-to-peer: if I install a mod that makes my kick faster, it'll be a faster kick on my game but the normal kick in your game, causing the game state to desync (if the kick hits you on my game but you hit me first in your game, both of our games are now playing out different scenarios but still controlling their instance of the "opponent" with the opponent's inputs)

What happened in SF6 was a tournament streamer had a boobie mod installed, and was using the in-engine "spectate" feature to put a match between two players on stream. Neither player saw the streamer's mod, it did not have any effect on the competitive integrity of the match. It was just a funny moment of a streamer's horny-on-main SF6 install being exposed on stream.
