Pretty light on details. I'm not really sure what Venris has done or its impact - does their original mod still work? Does a change to Venris' original have any impact on the unauthorised versions, or is it just as if they deleted it? What does AI have to do with it?
So SFO is a complete overhaul mod. From the sounds of it, the original author hasn't completed updating it for the newest End Times DLC and instead of waiting people are trying to use AI to convert it and uploading it using the SFO name. So at the very least the author is probably being asked for support on mods they had nothing to do with
What is row? Real operator written?
Gamers engage in piracy and modding mods? I'm shocked!
