Do not fear ReSkate

The entire mod was made using Claude AI. I believe EA can send a Cease and Desist for copyright reasons. I'll let y'all figure out on how. Their Official Discord is horrendous. Minors are harassing, and bullying new members for having questions regarding the mod (Installing it, Virus scare, etc.) Ragebaiting people including me and several other people. Why am I bringing this up? ReSkate is just a branch of Skate. right? So why doesn't EA, idk, 'pull the plug'?

Recently they had a great update that adds Road Rash and Board Break into their official additions. No credit, no actual way to NOT steal ideas. But knowing Claude AI was used only proves that these people do not know anything about scripting and Cease and Desists. What do you think? Was this post useless to put out or do you think EA is putting out a secret move against the modders of ReSkate?

    They've already drawn a pretty clear line for Reskate since they made a statement. 

    1. Do not release paid content
    2. Do not use content that is in the game files but not yet released or not finished. 

    I imagine they are just watching and seeing what will happen with Reskate. It's caused the game's daily peak users to essentially triple if not quadruple, even if people are literally playing the exact same game and don't want to admit it. If Reskate puts in security measures that blocks any material that EA does not approve of, I think it will be around for a long time.

    Still. ReSkate is straight up copy righting. There was talk about adding (or modding) Progression throughout the mod so if you did decide to abandon the vanilla Skate. You'd still progress through their mod. If EA is cool with it, then so be it. But that mod itself is heavily flawed and should be shamed for being just another pathetic copy of an already great game.

    Well people just don't really care. I've not heard of any cease and desists sent out by anyone who's work has been stolen and used in Reskate mods, so none of the copyright holders seem to care their work is being infringed. EAFC have given an explicit line for the mod to not cross, if it does, it'll probably just get hotpatched out and still float around the internet freely.  

    The mod is flawed sure, but again, nobody cares. Just saw someone post a video with DLSS 5 inside Michael's house from GTA 5 but it's within Reskate. It's getting a huge amount of support, so people genuinely, truly, like the slopmod. Best not to dwell on it I say, you may just end up losing your mind too.
