I'm very interested in knowing if there would really be a risk with ATARI's lawyers.
TDU is not the first modded game, it won't be the last. To my knowledge, no commercial game officially allows modifying binaries and contents. But modding case is very particular - generally editors keep their eyes and mouth shut, even if that brakes terms in the software licence.
Are ATARI so stupid to start with infringing modders (because of cheating risks) about a 2 year old game ? I don't think so. I've played NFS Hot Pursuit II years ago in online mode, a lot of people was cheating during races... EA did nothing to web sites providing trainers and so on, didn't they ?
Anyway, since I believe it's not only up to us to make this decision (but ATARI plays the dead man about this game since too many months), I propose to remove unfair feature (wheel drive) for the moment, in order to provide fixes for Modding Tools and add soft functions instead.
As community eagerly awaits them.
What do you think ?
