    Banning custom models is pretty standard for competitive games…and for good reason. Anyone else remember the Counter Strike models with giant spikes sticking out of them that would clip through walls?

    Add to that the recent Nexus Mods “controversey,” can you blame them for not wanting to be seen as the game where Trump can punch Obama in the face?

        Gamers mad because tight wing influencers were complaining that Nexus removed a Trump model and not mentioning that they removed ALL models of politicians.

        The most recent Nexus controversy I’ve heard of is them removing a mod that removes certain pronouns from Starfield

      “While mods only affected the game on the player side…”

      If it’s client side, then it wouldn’t impact a competitive game.

        Yes, now picture the enemy team’s models with lines extending 10 meters in all directions.

        Nah there’s still things like mods that replace textures of walls with wireframes you can see through or mods that make enemy player skins highlighted, that can give you an advantage even if it’s only client side.

      Well…

      • NetEase is a Chinese company, so I highly doubt they care about that.

      • If it can be the game thay Trump punches Obama in the face, it can also be the game where Obama punches Trump in the face. More likely is they would tell jokes and make each other laugh.

        • NetEase isn’t the one who’d care, it’s Disney/Marvel.

        • I have no idea why you think that changes anything. And I have no idea what you’re saying with the second sentence

          NetEase doesnt care, but probably as long as it makes money Disney won’t care either. Theyre not doing so well financially for Disney lately. The only reason theyre stopping this is because they can’t sell skins, not because of who the modded skins are of.

          The funny AI presidents playing games together videos that unfortunately died off lately. Wish we could all get along like that.
