This is honestly a valid question. We live in a time where even if what you are doing is in the boundaries of the law you may have to protect your identity to avoid the threat of lawsuit.

This is a good example. Paid for the game but don’t want it to be always online or whatknot? Don’t go tampering with EA’s game you naughty boy/girl.

I think about the times I’ve downloaded mods for games like the original Dawn of War or Star Wars Empire at war. Legality was never a question especially since those mods were still in-universe in those franchises but now licensing agreements mixed with more hostile and litigious publishers could make you a target for lawsuit.
