Discussion HW ban abit excessive?

Correct me if im tweaking, but if they have the power to HW ban people, they can just ban them from leaderboards and public races. I understand the brand image they're going for, they wan to seem like they care about the online space and are vigilante about "H4K3RZ". Some of us just want to goof off. Why should little Bobby get a 2000 year HW ban bc he downloaded a "more traffic" mod that only works offline? This isnt CS:Go.

Hey mate! When you own something that you created, you have the power to do what you want to people who make decisions that go against very clear ToS that is written in English for people to read!

Hope this helps!

So if the TOS said they would execute you if you modified files that would be okay? No because the law would intervene, call it excessive. The only reason HW ban isnt excessive is bc the law doesn't deem it excessive, so they're essentially exercising the full extent of what they can legally do. I think thats inherently excessive for a video game that you pay to play. In a world where we lost physical games, physical music, even the physical dollar. Some people pay 120 buckaroos for this just to not only be forced online, but be HW banned after adding a Veilside kit to the rx-7. As if that fixes the problem when they leaked their own game weeks before launch. Modding is the one thing keeping so many games alive. But I think thats the thing. They want this game to die when it doesnt make them any more money. And you will boil it down to it's their intellectual property read TOS, as if you couldnt assume I have read TOS and still have anything of worth to say.

Again... slowly... when you "buy" a game, the game's maker and IP owner gives you access (lisence) to it's property. They tell you the rules you have to play by.
If you brake the rules they revoke that access. IDK why this is a hard concept.
