The creator of one of the most popular Total War: Warhammer III mods ever has deliberately corrupted it so that it will no longer work with “unauthorized reuploads,” amid a row over the rights and wrongs of AI-generated modifications.

That’s not what’s happening here though.
It’s people building mods that need his framework from what I understand, not contributing to his codebase with it. No harm done except to his ego.
Crazy to get downvoted just for pointing out the guy didn’t even read the article. Get a grip.
It looks like the article itself is being a bit misleading; the actual statement doesn’t mention submods at all, but re-uploads of the original mod. Digging a bit further, it seems like the author is updating the mod to work on the game’s most recent patch, and while he is doing that a bunch of people have used AI to update the mod to that patch and uploaded it wholesale as if it were their own work
This looks like some classic vintage modder drama with someone claiming only they can use what they publish, for a game the makers let them make mods for.
Just more so as ai means so many people can get involved and make that molehill into a really, really big mountain.
No, it’s someone protecting the work they did because a bunch of hacks steal it, modify it with AI and submit it as their own work.
And the fucking planet
Seems to be a common theme with modders and since way before AI. It’s weird.
