Did none of you read the article?
The modder, PureDark is talking about putting in anti-theft mines into their mods. Exactly like the Mad Max game where you can't win and it makes it impossibly difficult if you're playing a cracked copy. Below is the quote from the article, emphasis mine.
That... is not at all specified what kind of "mine" it would be. You're assuming it's innocuous, everyone else is assuming it's malicious. But we're all making assumptions.
Based on the context it would only affect people who pirate it.
Right, just like Denuovo only impacts people who pirate games that use it.
Or DRM only impacts the people who pirate movies and TV.
A tale as old as time itself really.
