Treyarch Cracking Down on Console Modders
For you console modders out there, you might want to hear what developer Treyarch has to say.The team behind Call of Duty: World at War isn’t fond of console owners making mods for their games. Treyarch is taking action, and left this message on its website.
"In light of these recent events, I’d like to make something abundantly clear to the community: Treyarch has adopted a zero tolerance policy towards console hackers / modders. We are actively working with our console partners (Microsoft and Sony) to take action against all proven offenders, up to and including a complete ban from all of their online services. Our number one priority is to protect the experience of our online gaming community (most of you reading this message), and the efforts of console hackers / modders directly target the community in a negative way," the statement says.
Treyarch would continue on to say they support PC modding, even offering up the company’s official Wiki entry on modding Call of Duty World at War.
"For those of you that are currently modding or are considering modding your console, this message should serve as a warning; for those of you looking to enjoy a safe and fun online experience, please be reassured by it – console hacking is illegal, and will not be tolerated."
